I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Brandwatch (Brighton, England) in Jan 2023
Interview
Interview Process:
1) Screening call with Talent Acquisition Partner
2) Hiring Manager call
3) Task/Presentation with members of the product team
Interviewing with Brandwatch was a really positive experience overall. The people that I met were all really upbeat, enthusiastic and friendly. I felt at ease during each stage as the interviews were conversational and focused more on my approaches to the role rather than a right/wrong answer. I came away from the final stage feeling uplifted and energised which is always a good thing.
My one criticism would be that whilst the process had few stages, the time to make a decision was on the longer side as they were interviewing quite a few candidates. It was 2.5 weeks between my final interview and hearing the outcome. However, the detailed feedback was worth the wait in the end and I would consider future positions at Brandwatch if they became available.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What are the most important attributes for a product manager in your opinion?
I applied online and the process took a while since I had to go through a handful of interviews. I would describe it as difficult process since it took so long and requires work on your end to do a little project at the end.
The interview was in 3 stages; an initial, light-hearted conversation with HR and then 2 further discussions. The 2nd was an in depth discussion about my work history and the final interview was a lengthy call, all based on 'tell me about a time' questions. The interviewers were all very polite and professional. The final interview was fairly challenging as it requires a lot of prep, but overall I found the process thorough and positive.

Question 1
The questions were all experienced based; i.e. 'Tell me about a time when an a project didn't meet the client's expectations and what did you do about it?'
