I applied online. I interviewed at Compass in Apr 2021
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the language of your choice, write a program to query a certain public API and return the last K activities for a given user. Output the results to a CSV file.
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

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.
