The people I interviewed with were all very kind and thoughtful. I genuinely enjoyed the conversations.
That said, the process was excessive. Multiple interview rounds and a time-consuming case study required a significant investment of time and effort, followed by a completely generic rejection with no meaningful feedback.
At that point, it starts to feel very one-sided. Candidates are asked to put real thought into solving business problems, but receive little to no insight in return. If that level of effort is expected, the process should either be shorter or the feedback should be more thoughtful.

Other Project Manager interview reviews for Playlist
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Playlist in Mar 2026
Interview
Recruiter messaged me on Linkedin, used their link to schedule the call. They didn't show up for the initial call and then I used their link again to reschedule. In the second call, they didn't acknowledge that they didn't show up. Generic questions. Hiring manager seemed really kind but distracted. Didn't go through the full loop. Got a automated, generic rejection email, was hoping for something a bit more personal since they were the ones who reached out.

Interview
Interviewed for Mindbody. At first I was told there would be a math test in the process, which I found didn't have anything to do with the role or its seniority.
Then I was told all the rounds would be cases. There was only one.
The recruiter ignored my messages and ghosted me along the process. There was no transparency. I was jumping into interviews without knowing what to expect from them. Preparing for what I was told at the beginning and ended up being a different approach. Interviews kept being rescheduled with short notice and interviewers kept being changed on the invite. Their schedule system is terrible and I found bugs in it too. There was interviews with cameras off, which I found very odd.
On top of everything there was no feedback, just automatic email. I was interviewed in 4 stages and no feedback. Lack of consistent information about the role. One interviewer didn’t even know which role I had applied to and I had to explain to them.
