Entretien
Got a call through online application. Recruiter is excited for my profile and tells me I am eligible for one of the upcoming senior level role and schedules for a manager interview.
I have nearly 10 years of experience in product and thoroughly prepped to tackle basic questions of product sense, prioritization etc. To my surprise the manager on the call was someone with 2 odd years of work experience in Product and already hiring for junior level PMs which exactly opposite to what the recruiter had said. The interviewer was not even aware of the role I was briefed about. [2 major red flags already]
The whole interview was based on a "case study" which is basically a 1 line prompt. There are no other details even if you ask the interviewer and everything is basically based on how creative you can be on the spot to make up 5-6 potential issues for that prompt and come up with reasons to support why you picked 1 issue to focus on as the Product guy. No real structure, no real case study as they call it. Interviewer was late and then started pinging to his DMs in the last 5 mins.
Obviously the interviewer saw I am way senior to him and rejected,
Seemed like an initiative to help their PMs improve interviewing skills without real focus on the candidate and their experience.

a recruiter chat then a phone screen with a PM that was like mix of product sense and how you rank features and stuff. tthe virtual onsite was four rounds: analytics, product sense, prioritization, and values. the prioritization interview is easily the toughest part of the loop. they don't want generic roadmaps; you have to balance limited resources across their three-sided market (dashers, restaurants, customers) and make really hard trade-offs on who wins and who loses in a given scenario. product sense was super grounded. they aren't looking for you to pitch shiny new app features. we mostly just talked through how to fix things when a live order goes sideways, or what your move is when a neighborhood suddenly runs out of drivers. analytics round was heavy on metric trade-offs, and the values chat was basically checking how you deal when things go wrong with process or other stakeholders, etc. for prep, I’d sayt ditch the standard pm frameworks and actually study gig economy mechanics (there are a lot of gud resources available online). i grabbed a mock interview on prepfully with a doordash pm beforehand and it really helped me get a grip on the marketplace balancing act. you have to be ready to defend your logic when they push back.

Had a call with the recruiter, then product prioritization round (screen interview). They were looking for defining metrics, users, mapping user journey, identifying and prioritizing pain points and proposing solutions
Recruiter screen, a product prioritization case, and an onsite. Review marketplace companies, and how to improve product usage experiences - these will be tested in the cases. Rest of the interviews are standard behavioral, very close to the document sent by the recruiter
