I interviewed at Serac Technologies (London, England)
Interview
The process was clear and pretty relaxed overall.
First, I had a 15-minute call with the recruiter. They explained the company, and the different products they’re building. It sounds like they’re growing fast and working on a lot of things at the same time.
The second stage was the main interview with the head of product i wouldve been working under. It felt like a conversation, we talked about my background, how I work in teams, how I deal with feedback, and how I think about building products. They asked about my favourite app and there were a couple of problem-solving questions to see how I think.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how I would structure my workflow as a Product Owner when delivering a big feature, from requirements through to handing it over to engineers and testing it.
The first was an informal video call with a hiring manager, followed by a technical interview with the CTO. The technical interview involved both definition-type questions and a logic reasoning task.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Serac Technologies (London, England) in Mar 2024
Interview
Two meetings via Zoom, one with a current Account Executive and one with the Sales Manager.
One in-person interview with Sales Manager and Hiring Manager - tasked to do a 10 minute presentation.
I was told there MAY be a cold calling element to the in-person interview. After arriving, Chief Sales Manager essentially disregarded the presentation I had spent a couple hours preparing for and wanted to go straight into a 15min demo cold call. This was after I was informed this MIGHT be part of the interview.
They ask candidates to create and prepare a 10 min presentation but then disregarded it and then 'surprised' them with a mock cold call you said might not even be a part of the process?
Doesn't really set candidates up for success and the whole thing felt very pointless and a waste of time.
Then got ghosted by the company after we discussed that this was an issue in the current job market - which they agreed with. Quite ironic.
Thanks for the feedback, we make it clear in our interview preparation that you should prepare for a roleplay and also a presentation. We also provide constructive feedback to all candidates irrespective of the outcome, so we're slightly confused how you missed our email / phone call with feedback.
We wish you all the best in your job search and if there's any further questions just let us know.
