Interview
Interviewed online, hiring manager reached out. After conversation with him, did a technical system design round with a developer, feedback was good during the interview. Spoke with hiring manager about next steps then...he never got back nor did he respond to emails after.
Fairy straightforward process. First initial call with recruiter, then screening with hiring manager. Next is screen interview with a TPM on the team. Asked questions on Program/Project management and system design.
Past that is interview loop with 4-5 interviews on each topic- leadership, technical retrospective, system design, product sense

Interview
After an initial screening about past PM experiences, I was given 24 hours to complete a coding exercise. I was told I'd hear back in 3-5 days. Despite checking in and being told I'd hear back soon, I was only finally moved on to the next round after more than 2 weeks. I declined to move on further, having received another offer in the meantime.
I don't feel that my time and effort were respected here and it's likely a reflection of the work environment.
