Interview
I applied for a product manager position, geared towards MBA graduates.
Overall enjoyable process. The recruiter was friendly and all communication went smoothly. First stage was a short phone screening, basically to get a feel for who I am and go over how the process works. Second stage involved a written take-home assignment. Third stage was an video call with a current PM. I got the feeling the PM wasn't very interested in my background or experience at all, and just went right into a situational question.

Interview
Their interview process is low quality. When interview schedule was updated, the interviewer’s name and position should have been as well, but that did not happen. As a result, I ended up meeting with someone from a different function who did not clarify the reason behind. It was a shock because it completely changes my preparation for types of answers. This person was yawning, distracted by surrounding environment, and probably responding to chats on the side also.
Interviewers answers to my questions were vague and lacked relevance.
Not sure if the company's solving customer problems or if it is more focused on leveraging collected data for company growth only.

Question 1
Specific question for the role aiming to achieve its advertised feature. But, it's almost too specific (because this interviewer was engineering lead) and forcing to disclose logics and implementations happening at my current work.
was good. the interviewer was kind. I felt appreciated. I would try this out again but I was only looking for a competitive over to take back to my current employer.
It was video call interview with HR first if selected goes to tech interview, then you get another interview with seniors for assesment about your experience then another final interview
