Other Product Marketing Manager Interview Reviews for Freshworks
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Freshworks (Bengaluru) in Aug 2021
Interview
The TA contacted me via Linkedin and thought I was a fit, pushed to the next round . But she didn’t introduce herself nor the company or even to talk to me properly or even give me the chance to tell her my experience. She mentioned I have done corporate marketing at one of my previous firms, which is not even mentioned on my resume. Instead of asking what I can bring to the table for this role, she judged me stating I have done product marketing only at my current company. I explained to her how my vast experience has led to me don this role of product marketing.
She seems to think that product marketing is only product launches sales enablement and nothing else.
She does not have the communication skills to talk to candidates, that too senior candidates.
This isn’t the first time I have experienced her high-handed behavior, she behaved the same way with me when she was at her previous company
I was treated like a fresher who is desperately looking for a job which is not how a senior person has to be treated.
I hope this feedback brings about the right change and she receives the training she desperately needs to know how to treat candidates like human beings not just a piece of paper.
