I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Duolingo in Oct 2022
Interview
The process consists of three steps: - Take home assignment which is required to complete within a week - First round back to back on product design and analytics - Second round with three people on a variety of topics from product to analytics to your background
I got a call for an interview which took about an hour. Asked standard questions and provided information on the role. The person who interviewed me was very nice and engaged the whole time.
Very structured interview process. Two rounds total - 2 interviews in the 1st round, 3 interviews in the 2nd round. They focus on different skills in each interview - Data / Analytics, Product Design, UI/UX Design, Strategy, Cultural Fit. They make this super clear by sending a doc explaining what to expect from each interview. Timeline was also very clear. Process length could be faster though
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Market sizing questions.
Typical PM interview question "how would you design an app for ..."
Many rounds of interview, smooth process. Communicative HR outlining the whole process. Overall a very positive experience but the interviews are long including a panel interview that lasted 5 hours.
