Interview
There were several rounds of interviews, first a recruiter and then the hiring manager. Then there was an unpaid project assignment. After the final round interview, they didn't follow up with an update.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you prioritize technical SEO vs. content experience?
Consisted of analyzing a website’s SEO performance and providing recommendations for improvement. I had 48 hours to complete the assessment and submit a report. They also gave me a chance to ask them questions about the company, the team, and the role.

Interview
One of the worst phone screens I have ever been on. Ghosted the first time and had to reschedule. When they finally got on the video chat, they interrupted me constantly. Interviewer didn't like my lack of eye contact … but I was just typing and taking notes like everyone does … so what’s the big deal? Unwilling to share details on the benefits. Unaware of the California pay transparency laws. Not supportive of my long term goals of going back to school. Time hog — scheduled 45 minutes but only took 20 minutes … time in my schedule I could have chatted with someone else. It’s like the process is intentionally bad just to measure your mental stamina.

Question 1
Proud project. But they had no idea what a product manager much less an AI-based product manager actually does. So their questions were embarrassingly shallow.
