Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 5 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Wise (Londres, Inglaterra) en jun 2019
Entrevista
Very unprofessional and mismanaged recruiting process.
I was told that there will be 5 Rounds - 1st - 30 min video round - focus on motivation for TW, background, role fitment; 2nd - Management Task/ Case Study ; 3rd - Video Technical Round; 4th - Video Hiring Manager round; 5th - CTO/ Director round ( in-person/ Video )
It took 2 weeks to get the interview scheduled after the initial employee referral. The 1st video round was with a Product Manager in London, which ran for 1 hr (supposed to be 30 min) it felt that its a +ve sign as the interviewer is so interested in continuing for an 1 hr. I was asked to share my ideas for TW USA. So I created a comprehensive 10 pager document with my research, ideas and existing bugs in the application and sent them to HR and the Interviewer to share with the entire hiring team.
TO my surprise the HR went into a complete silent mode and even after following up twice, no body responded back on the feedback or status of my profile. No body even acknowledged that they are receiving my emails or not. As if I was completely and purposely ignored.
Add to the insult, after 3 weeks of silence i got a generic email stating they have selected other candidates for next steps and my chance ended there.
Utter ridiculous experience - worst recruitment experience from a company that is one 1 of my desired products to work for.

Pregunta 1
As a Product Manager, what are your ideas/ areas of improvement for TW in USA and what would you do to beat the competition?
Stage 1 Recruiter / Talent Screen, Stage 2 Hiring Manager + Engineering Lead. Stage 1 was pretty straightforward. Stage 2, half the interview was to talk about a theoretical problem and the second on something I had worked on. the interview felt poorly structured, and the engineer on the call was rude and off putting - poor people skills.
I then received an automated email saying I did not progress, which is fair but candidates deserve actual feedback, not a generic email. You've invested time to speak to me, you should have the time to write candidate feedback - or don't hire!

Ignoring stakeholder alignment what is a complex, technical project you've worked on.
Overall the interview process is quite nice the people are quite nice however, the way they treat candidates is quite bad when you do not succeed or are not shortlisted. They will ghost you, or pretend to have another meeting and cancel the meeting, or make you wait for weeks until they make up their mind.
The company’s vision and culture seems great but the way they treat candidates can be improved.
Interviewer was disengaged. Didn't have a great experience. She also wasn't paying attention to what I said and I kept having to repeat myself. I did not get a follow up interview.
