ShipStation interview questions

Recruiter contacted me via email to schedule an initial call with the Director. Initial call was with the hiring Director. We scheduled 30 minutes and he asked to extend. We spoke about my background and experience and he answered questions for 90 minutes. Recruiter set up 4 Zoom calls with pairs of Product Managers / Directors / Engineers for the following week. I was also given a project to build a roadmap for a 3 month period given a set of tickets and available information on impact and level of engineering effort. The Director call was a role play to walk through my process for gathering requirements on a new product. They were excellent partners and never let me flounder. The remaining calls were excellent 2-way information exchanges. The final call was a review of my 3 month roadmap with me defending/explaining my choices. The following day I had a 30 minute call with their CPO. He gave me a no fluff summary of the position and why they thought it might be a good fit. They wanted to make sure it would work for me. I had an offer from the hiring Director 15 minutes after the call.

I thought the interview process was handled well. They were communicative throughout the entire process. I felt they were interested in getting to know me and how I could fit in and benefit their team. I was ultimately not selected, but because they were honest and transparent, I know the reasons why they went with other candidates.
