      Product Manager Interview

      23 Jun 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Earnest (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2020

      Interview

      1, 30 min call with a recruiter 1, 45 visio call with the hiring manager 1, onsite panel of interviews (6-7 different people), composed of stakeholders the role would be set to interact with (dev, design, product, business) Overall good experience, I thought I was going to get a verbal offer per my discussion with the recruiter. The hiring manager even checked all of my professional references. Early in March 2020, after the onsite, pending the decision, the hiring team decided to end the process here. The team really enjoyed meeting me, and told me that I was a strong candidate. Ultimately, however, they felt a hiring decision was being rushed due to internal time pressures. On top of an emergency protocol now in place, the team has decided to reassess our needs for the position. Then the lead recruiter sort of ghosted me when they put up the position again. It was surely disappointing to not receive full transparence from the hiring team, I was under the impression that radical candor was at the center of the company culture but it seemed to not fully be the case.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      General SAR questions: "tell me about a time where you had to ..." "Pick a product you built you are particularly proud of, why", "how would you improve it" "Why Earnest? why now?" "If you were the CEO of your current company, what would you do differently?"

      I interviewed at Earnest

      Interview

      The interview process was easygoing and relaxed overall. It included multiple rounds: an initial screening, hiring manager interview, and a five-hour panel interview focused on different functional and behavioral areas.

      I interviewed at Earnest

      Interview

      Their recruiting is a mess. I had to go through several different recruiters and none of them were helpful. I was told I would be sent extra information on what to expect, but nothing came of it. I tried emailing the person of contact but no response. On the day of the interviews, I had no clue what to expect. Meanwhile the hiring manager tells me the recruiter should have prepared me for this round. They need more engaging and better recruiters.
