I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Cloudbeds (Berlin) in Nov 2019
Interview
Submitted my application online and was invited to do a “one way interview”, which is basically where a computer asks you questions and you respond to those and record your answers. The interview format was a bit strange but overall not much different from meeting with a real person except you get built in prep time! The interview itself wasn’t bad but I marked my process as negative because I never heard back from Cloudbeds with positive or negative feedback.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing for the Product Manager, Payments role at Cloudbeds, and I wanted to share my positive experience.
From the outset, the process was well-organized and transparent. The Recruitment team provided clear instructions and timelines, which helped set my expectations appropriately. The initial screening was thorough and relevant, focusing on my experience and how it aligned with the role.
The subsequent interviews were a mix of technical and behavioral assessments. Each interviewer was knowledgeable and genuinely interested in understanding my fit for the team and the company culture. They asked insightful questions that challenged me to think critically about product management and payment systems, while also allowing me to showcase my expertise.
I particularly appreciated the open communication and the opportunity to speak with various team members, including potential colleagues and cross-functional partners. This gave me a well-rounded view of the role and the collaborative environment at Cloudbeds.
What stood out the most was the company’s commitment to its values and mission. Every interaction reflected a strong sense of purpose and a dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction. The enthusiasm and passion of everyone I spoke with were truly inspiring and reinforced my desire to join the team.
Although I am still awaiting the final offer, I wanted to express my gratitude for the positive experience. The interview process at Cloudbeds has been one of the most engaging and professional experiences I have encountered.
Thank you to the entire team for their time and consideration. I look forward to contributing to such an exciting and forward-thinking company.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cloudbeds in Jun 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn, and then scheduled 30 minutes. I asked for any overview info they had, but that wasn't provided. Despite having my resume, she went on to describe a role that had little relation to my experience and doesn't match the industry norm for the titling.
