I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gearset (Cambridge, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
1st interview - HR screening
2nd interview - skills and competency interview involving 3 people. I was provided with a scenario prior to the call and had to present on it
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You've just joined Gearset's data team. There are two problems we can tackle:
1) Churn is 1% / mo higher than for the rest of the product
2) There's a massive gap in our offering - users want to be able to compare and deploy nCino data and metadata
We'd like you to put together a presentation covering:
- Which one you'd tackle first, and the justification for that decision.
- A plan for how you'd approach solving this problem.
I applied online. I interviewed at Gearset (London, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
First stage interview with Talent Acquisition - really friendly and open.
Second stage was interview with other Product Managers - again very friendly and good conversation. Was just general competency Qs.
I didn't get the job - which is fine - but I will say the feedback I got back from Talent Acquisition was unprecedented. Actual paragraphs about my answers and details etc - real human recruitment process and they gave me some good areas to check myself on in future interviews.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gearset in Aug 2025
Interview
Initial screening call, then an involved call with 2 product managers. The successive call was quite challenging where we went into depth for a number of typical product questions and scenarios. Generally quite pleasant but a tough set of questions.
