The process was very smooth and quick, they let you know your results within a few days so you're never left wondering, which I appreciated. They provide a lot of guides and resources to help you prepare, and I felt like it did accurately give me enough experience and practice for my interviews. I had 2 rounds of interviews, one was a regular product case interview with a Senior PM and after that I had the Power Day interviews (4 back to back interviews). Each were detailed and thorough, and I would not have done as well as I did without the prep work they suggested/provided. All my interviewers were also very kind and engaging, and they helped me along whenever I started to struggle/get lost trying to solve the problem during the interview. Overall, a good and exhausting experience, but worth being a part of as I feel like it really improved my skills regardless of whether I received an offer or not.

Completed digital assessment, got invited to first round mini-case. Didn't move on to final round power day. Overall speedy process and they let me know quickly. Not sure how competitive the program typically is but seems pretty competitive.

Interview
First round interview followed by 4.5 hr long powerday of 4 interviews over zoom. Interviews consisted of product cases, product design/discovery scenarios, and product skills questions. Product cases allowed a calculator and product skills required talking about a past project.
