I applied online. I interviewed at Switchfly (Chicago, IL) in May 2022
Interview
The interview process was more pleasant than others. I met with HR first for a screening call, then a Product Manager, and then the Manager of Engineering who the role would be reporting to. Most of sessions were informal and learning about each other which I could appreciate.
Unfortunately I didn't make it to a round beyond that even though I thought it went well. I received an email from HR stating your general "we like you, but went a different direction". Since I was surprised I emailed back to get feedback, usually when I do this it goes unaddressed. However, at SwitchFly they were happy to share the notes on me and why I wasn't selected. I truly appreciated this as it goes a step beyond the normal process.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about your experience in Product Management?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Switchfly (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The 1st interview round was with another product manager and went really well. The 2nd round was scheduled for 30mins with the Director of Software engineering. He took around 15 mins to talk about the company and the role. I was barely asked anything. It seemed like the recruiter asked me more technical questions that the Director of Software. But, the 1st round of the interview went really well. Seems like the 2nd round was just a formality and they had made up their mind that they were not going to proceed with me. I received a rejection email almost within an hour after the interview. The interviewer also seemed quite distracted during the video call.
