I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me and after a brief phone screening (very basic questions about my background and interests) we scheduled a one hour interview with a current product manager.
The next step would have been an on site interview.
The recruiter was my main point of contact and everything moved very smoothly, and I received answers withing a few days.
During both of the interviews there was a lot of focus on analytics and details. You should prepare a few examples of running A/B tests, how you segmented the population and what the results of the study were/ how they impacted decisions.
There were also some logic questions (similar to "how much would you charge to clean all windows in downtown New York") meant to test how you approach problem solving.

Question 1
NDA doesn't allow me to share the exact questions, but there is a lot of focus on coming up with product ideas based on data.
The interview process was well-structured and smooth, facilitating clear communication and engagement. Each stage flowed seamlessly, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of candidates' qualifications and fit. Overall, it was an effective and positive experience for all involved.

Estimation; product analytics and estimation questions all asked
6 rounds of interviews, too many interviews to receive a job offer and way too many interviews to make a final decision, should be 3 tops, kept adding another interview at end
I applied for Indeed a while ago and had a good interview process. I got to talk to HR, the hiring manager and potential future team members. It was prior to the pandemic, so I had 5 interviews at their location in Austin and saw the office building.
