Interview experience: Positive
Process: I went through three interview rounds plus an onsite. After an initial recruiter screen, the first round was a conversational interview with a senior team member who focused on my background, career journey, and product thinking. The second round was a structured 45-minute competency interview with a PM on the team. The format was clear: 5 minutes intro, three 10-minute competency questions, and 10 minutes of Q&A. The final stage was an onsite visit.
Company overview: During the interviews I got a solid picture of the company. Around 100 employees,a London/Manchester office, three autonomous product teams, increased AI adoption, and a fast-paced shipping culture.The interviewers were transparent about the role expectations and team structure.
What went well: All three interviewers were professional, knowledgeable, and gave me a clear understanding of the role and company. The early stages of the process moved quickly and I felt my time was respected during the interviews themselves.
What could improve: After the onsite, communication slowed significantly. I was told I'd hear back within a week but it took considerably longer to receive a decision. For candidates who have travelled and invested time and money into the process, a quicker turnaround on the outcome would have been appreciated.
Tips for candidates: Come prepared with concrete, data-backed examples using the STAR method. Keep your answers concise and lead with your main point rather than building up to it. The interviewers value real experience over theoretical frameworks.
Overall: A well-structured interview process with strong interviewers. Just be aware that the timeline after the final stage may be longer than communicated.
