I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay in Nov 2016
Interview
Got an interview at the campus recruiting event. Passed the interview. Then talked to the HR on a phone call. Then passed a skype interview with a product manager, and finally failed at the second Skype interview with a senior product manager. No behaviorals, surprisingly. The first Skype interview asked about resume and basic pm questions. The second Skype interview was intense on PM questions, like what do you think of this eBay product, why was it designed that way, how would you improve it. Also got asked if I know any machine learning algorithm.
Interviewed with 2 rounds, then told role was being put on pause and they'd reach out. Never heard from them again after that. Quite frustrating. Don't even know if it went well or not
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a stakeholder just said a product "didn't work"
still in interview phase, was told 5 rounds (Product Sense, Case Study, Stakeholder, Engineering Manager, VP/Director). I will add another interview update review but still in the phase right now
First Round:
1. Questions about the product metrics
2. Current product experience
3. Design a product
The HR is not at all responsive; they do not provide feedback
I applied for the PM role, an interview happened for the PM role, but after many follow-ups, they sent the rejection mail for some other Analytics role, which I haven't not even applied for
