      Principal Product Manager Interview

      Jul 25, 2023

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Upwork in May 2023

      Interview

      First call was fine, but aggressive as they focused too much on logistics and not on establishing a personal connection. Second call was unsettling. First, there was a product sense case study -- but there was no warning in advance this would be a case study. Second, the case study was about Upwork itself so it was deeply uncomfortable giving "free ideas" and "free work." Third, the actual job description was very vague. No one gave any direction on what the actual job was besides "transformative AI" which has absolutely no meaning. Overall a sense that they are looking for very boring, cookie-cutter perfectionists who fit into a very specific mold (ie ex-FAANG employees).
