The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Blackhawk Network (New York, NY) in May 2020
Interview
They like GHOSTING candidates after conducting multiple interviews. Very long drawn process with zero coordination. Three long interviews all of which went well based on feedback of the panelists but there was no planning from HR. Worst interview experience. HR ghosted me after round 1.5 months and came back after a month. I was skeptical to continue given the long delay but was reassured multiple times about seriousness behind the role. Badly scheduled interviews with US panelist with multiple reschedules. Very poor experience. Then finally ghosting again after 3 more rounds. What an epic waste of time. I think the 3.2 rating on Glassdoor is also a little high given the poor experience I had.

Question 1
Generic Product Management questions. Panelists were good and well informed. Seemed knowledgeable.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blackhawk Network (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
I had 2 rounds of interview here and both were product management rounds. I felt that both the panelists were rude and not soft spoken at all.
The first round was with a product manager who not open to any sorts of dicussion on what she does in the company and what the role is about and was asking questions as if it were a rapid fire round not waiting me to complete.
The second round was with a Sr/Principal Product Manager who was very rude and wasn't pleased with any Product Management standard answers. Looks like they were not keen to hire but were doing to to complete formalities. The manager was quoting terms like he is a senior in the industry and i should learn from him and he has more exp and statements so on which were irrelevant. I feel the product management team is very chacotic and confusing based on the interview sessions i attended here.
