The interview process is easy and laid back. The guy who hired me isn’t there anymore though. Not sure if the interview process has changed. They asked about how I approach calls, and if had any very bad calls and how I handled it
TLDR: Stood up for scheduled interview
Scheduled for an online screener/interview on a Monday morning. Interviewer did not show up. Phone call went to voicemail. No response to email.
Interviewer followed up a few days later to do a screener without an appointment saying she cancelled the interview. At the end of the ad hoc screener I inquired about compensation, which was about 50% of the median market rate in the KC Metro so I withdrew my app.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not really questions. Interviewer told me about the position and asked if I thought I could do it.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Centerbase in Aug 2022
Interview
TL; DR : ghosted me after an otherwise seemingly organized and professional process
Summary :
4 rounds over Zoom :
1:1 w/ external headhunter
2:1 w/ hiring manager and HR
3:1 w/ potential peers
1:1 w/ CEO
Everyone I interviewed with understood Product Management as a function, the role I was interviewing for, and seemed aligned on the what the company was specifically looking for in a candidate. Meaningful relevant questions and discussions all around. Generally positive energy from the interviewers about the company, it’s ambitions, and the Product Management function.
Interviews were all promptly and professionally scheduled.
Following the above thorough and time-consuming interview process, I was genuinely surprised that after the final (?) fourth round I was ghosted and that I didn’t receive any response when requesting an update.

Question 1
How do you gain the support of the Product team and other company stakeholders, convincing them to believe in the Product strategy and roadmap?
