Interview
Overall was a pretty negative experience. For a company of this size, I'd expect the recruiters to be more of an advocate and make sure candidates know what to expect but it was overall very haphazard. Google and Facebook have much better process and set up their candidates for success as opposed to LinkedIn.
The interviewer was very terse and responded with one word answers and didn't feel like he wanted to explain anything. In hindsight I should have ended the call then. It was a complete waste of time. I was actually pretty excited about interviewing with this guy but he seemed like a friendly guy and wrote a bunch of post about the PM space and getting a role, but he turned out to be a bit of a hard arse.

First round was with the hiring manager, the question caught me off guard. The hiring manager was respectful but I wish he would've walked me through what he was looking for.
