I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Instacart (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me for a senior product management role and after a brief conversation, he set a 45 min phone screen with the hiring manager. The phone interview went well and they called for me an onsite interview. But with many companies "working from home" because of the lockdown my onsite interview was converted to a virtual interview.
1. Forty-five min interview on Product Sense. The interviewer came five min late but the interviewer was nice and after brief introductions, we dived into the product sense question.
2. My next interview was on Product Execution. The interviewer was nice but somehow the interviewer seemed to rush through the interview and finished the interview five minutes before the schedule.
3. The last interview was with the recruiter. We had a brief informal chat and he told me he already received feedback from one of the interviewers and it looked positive.
The recruiter said he will update me in 2-3 days. I sent him multiple emails but there is no response from the recruiter.
Have the basic courtesy to update candidates with your decision and provide feedback.
