Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Recruiter reached out to me via email for a job I had applied for approx 2 months back. Scheduled a call until she rescheduled last minute, this happened twice until we finally got on a call. I honestly feel I lost this job cause of the recruiter. The call was so strange, both really interactive but also extremely vague. I wanted to go into details but she kept saying "I dont want to take up a lot of our time, you can get into details with the hiring team". So I thought okay, well I guess this is going to be shorter than what im used to. She did ask a lot of HR/admin questions which made me believe that I was being considered for the role - for instance - why the company/the role/ pay range/travelling to office etc.
There was an initial phone screening, then a mini-case, and finally a half day final interview with four cases. I had a challenging but rewarding experience overall with excellent interviewers.

Interview
Declined to continue after phone screening because the recruiter was so out of touch with the actual roles they are recruiting for. They displayed a fundamental lack of understanding of what Product teams have open roles and what they do at a high level, and even actively discouraged me from continuing the process because they have a “rigorous, full day interview process” that I “shouldn’t participate in if I don’t feel a strong fit.” They then backtracked and tried to get me to continue, but I already withdrew my application.
The interview process was extensive, involving multiple rounds. Each stage required a deep, detailed understanding of every project I’ve managed — architecture decisions, challenges faced, and outcomes achieved. This thorough approach ensured both technical depth and clear communication were evaluated at every step.
