      Product Owner Interview

      31 May 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Melbourne
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xero (Melbourne) in May 2019

      Interview

      I applied online and the whole process was a quick phone call from the HR representative and 3 face-to-face interviews (from the time I applied to the time I accepted the offer: 4 weeks). Call with HR representative: she called me a few days after I applied. It was a simple and amiable chat. Normal procedure where some of the questions were: why XERO? a bit about myself..., salary expectations, and a chance to ask questions back. First F2F interview: It was with another Product Owner and a Product Manager. Took 1 hour where there were a lot fo questions about my skills, what I love doing and why XERO. Also, had the opportunity to ask deeper questions about the role. Second F2F interview: It was with another 2 Product Managers. I had to prepare a case study from 2 options: either a production issue or a new project. The whole idea was to show how I approach such situations. I did it, the interview went well and it was probably the interview I enjoyed the most in my whole career. Third and final F2F interview: It was with a General Manager. It took 45 minutes and the idea was to know more about each other and see how both of us can make the other to grow. I felt very connected. Had a chance to ask very deep questions about the company, strategy, plans for the future and expectations. I received a call the next day with an offer and (after a few negotiations) I accepted it. I enjoyed the process from start to end. The HR team was always very responsive and provided updates very fast.

      Interview

      A few stages - interview with the recruiter, task with the hiring managers, and interview with the team members. Generally, it was enjoyable and well-organised, with all of the interviewers being reasonable and respectful.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Xero (Wellington, Wellington)

      Interview

      The recruitment team were super friendly and easy to deal with. However the interview process is lengthy and inconsistent and if you don't get the role you applied for you have to start back at the beginning of the whole process.

      Product Owner Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xero

      Interview

      Screening call, and then 3 more interviews. One of them was an exercise of mapping out what your first 90 days in the role would look like. Was quite a long process and had to push to get the next interviews scheduled sooner as I was interviewing with other companies and wanted to weigh up my options. In the end they weren't able to put an offer on the table in time so I ended up going elsewhere. Got the feeling they didn't want to compete with other offers / would rather hire someone who had them as their first/only choice.
