I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sprout Social (New York, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me about a position at Sprout. I had 3 rounds of interviews: first a call with recruiter, second a call with the hiring manager, and finally a zoom interview with 2 other PMs, 1 engineer, 1 designer, hiring manager and recruiter.
Both the recruiter and hiring manager were very communicative with me and made sure I had the resources I needed to interview successfully and ultimately make the decision to join. After I got the job offer, almost all of my interviewers responded to my Thank You note with warm, thoughtful responses (something I have never seen before) which solidified my decision that it would be a great place to work.
The company culture at Sprout is incredibly important and something that comes across in the interview.

Interview
The interviewer was so clear and punctual. I was enjoyed since the style was quite chill just like a conversation with friends. However, I think they should improve the internet connection since they were some freeze from their side.

Question 1
They were asking me about my experiences and how I can apply that to the company.

Interview
Straightforward but very long. Started out with an initial HR screening call talking about my background and interest at Sprout, then moved on to a call with a hiring manager. Typical PM interview questions, talked a lot about product and my previous experience. After this I was scheduled a 3-hour virtual interview panel (normally onsite, was 3 1-hour interviews with 3 different panels). I spoke a PM team, who walked through a case study with me, then an engineering team then a design team. This day was long but everyone was very nice. Finally, after this panel day I was scheduled one last interview with a potential manager.
The HR rep I worked with was super helpful and friendly, and kept the process very transparent. Although it was the longest process I went through, interviewing with Sprout was the best process I have been through because of their transparency and demeanor throughout the period.
