One of the worst interviews I've had. The recruiter seems had a scattered mind when talking to me. But I was quickly moved on to the hiring manager phone interview. Started with a typical question why am I a fit for this position. Then asked me a very specific product improvement recommendation on a particular feature. Nothing else. Good product managers are well rounded and should be measured on all level of qualifications. Using an interview as a leverage to get some product improvement ideas in the first 10 mins of a conversation is such a low-level move. And the folks there seem don't have any technical background and don't understand what qualities to value and to select good PMs.

I had an outstanding offer from another company, so they were quick to fly me out to SF to meet with me after the initial phone screen with the hiring manager. I met with 6 engineers and product folk. They were the typical, so "tell me about yourself" questions (2 of the interviewers had obviously not read my resume and asked me that while they scanned my resume). Two of the interviewers had marked up my resume with a red pen and asked me design questions, questions about the competition, about the real estate market, etc. Those were engaging conversations. I'd spoken to the hiring manager on the phone twice already so most of our conversation was not about work. It was just to see if there would be a fit. I was sure I'd get an offer (I did not).
