I applied online. I interviewed at Hopper in Jun 2026
Interview
I applied two times for a PM position in the past 3 years. Both times the same happened, I complete the assessment and then the process suddenly stop, the first time was since they were doing a round of lay off and they freeze the hiring, the second time they filled the position in those 3 days since we interview and I completed the assessment. I feel maybe they are constantly interviewing without much awareness of the context they are at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about my experience, basic hr screening question
the assessment was an ai chatbot that assist you to book a hotel, and I need it to iterate it to increase retention.
First a recruiter interview, then a test case with prototype and two product people interview to evolve the case, both of them like a live work presentation. Very quick responses and very clear on everything.
The interview process was not good. I decided to add this review so if you have a poor experience, you know it wasn't because of you. The first two rounds (Recruiter screen and Hiring Manager interview) were great. But for the third round I met with a member of the broader team. My interviewer seemed unprepared, and the format of the interview was completely different from what the recruiter told me it would be. It was hard to track the throughline with a lot of their lines of questions (even when I asked clarifying questions), and the thought exercises we did were not very well planned out and often meandering. I honestly felt like the interview was set up for failure from the start.

Question 1
Questions from the recruiter screen and hiring manager interview were pretty standard - What interests you in the role? Tell me about a time you launched a product with a tight timeline? Etc.
Questions from the third round honestly wouldn't make sense posted here outside of the context of the interview
