I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Motive in Aug 2023
Interview
Call with recruiter, call with hiring manager, followed by a battery of behavioral and case-based interviews with different members of the team. The case interviews include a data analysis one (reading graphs and charts), a product sense one (how to improve an issue with a hypothetical app), and a product strategy/guidance one (real world example at Motive). It was a typical Silicon Valley product manager set of interviews, which are difficult if you're not practiced in them and have "framework thinking."
My experience was positive. I received quick replies from the recruiter. Everyone I interviewed with was on-time, professional and polite.
That said, the people I interviewed with weren't exactly "friendly"---they're polite and honest, but also brisk and efficient. I got the sense that this is a heads-down work culture and it's also highly distributed across multiple timezones.

Q: Sales are dropping in an ecommerce flow. What do you think is happening? (case interview)
Q: Management wants to improve the core metric of [fake app that sells XYZ]. Explain how you'd analyze the situation and figure out how and where to make improvements.
It was a good, smooth and structured interview by a panel of interviewers. The process was professional. Good team with accommodating HR process. Got the offer and accepted. However, salary negotiation and
Forward career path was something requiring more insight and clarity.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Motive
Interview
Multiple rounds, including case study. Their recruiters are horrible though - unresponsive and rude - and they have shady recruitment policies (e.g. they refuse to share anything about the company when you're evaluating an offer)
