Interview
I interviewed for a position in their Burlington, MA office. It was one of the best interviewing experiences I've ever had. The recruiting team was flexible and worked with my schedule, kept me in the loop on next steps, and followed up within a few days of each step. They even made progress during the holidays and while people were on FTO.
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds - an initial phone screen, 3 phone interviews with members of the hiring team, and 3 additional on-site interviews with adjacent team members. Interviewers mostly asked behavioral questions to see if there was a fit with the role & product. I was asked questions that are standard for any PM interview - give examples of prioritization, working with team members, backlog grooming, setting vision/roadmap, and product delivery. I was also transitioning from a B2C to B2B and was asked a few questions related to the transition.
Overall, it was a great interviewing experience, which I hope is symbolic of the work culture there.

Question 1
Tell me about how you prioritize features in your backlog.
Straightforward, standard questions by the book, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Classical PM questions, some were related to usage of AI in the daily work and to team management
I had a 30 minute phone screening with recruiter and then a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager. After that, I was told they would be in touch with next steps. 2 weeks later I received a rejection email.

Interview
Getting a referral for a job is a massive advantage. No salary was disclosed I was asked what I would expect first. Interview was pretty casual and easy going. Would recommend
