The interviewers were very relaxed, but questions seemed not to be entirely focused on pm.” 2. **PagerDuty — 4 months ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/pagerduty-customer-success-manager-interview-339f82)) **Role:** Customer Success Manager > “The process was well organized and the recruiter communicated clearly throughout. Scheduling was smooth and the interviewers were professional. The rounds were challenging but fair, and the questions matched the role. The only downside was waiting longer than expected for feedback between stages.” 3. **Snorkel AI — 4 months ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/snorkel-ai-ai-engineer-interview-819788)) **Role:** AI Engineer · Mid Level / L4 > “The first round was recruiter screening via phone call, it went well. Then a zoom call with the principal software engineer, that went well too. Then came the 4 round loop. I messed up during the system design, as the structure for that round was completely different from what was described. The rest went well. But yeah didn make it” 4. **Uber — 5 months ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/uber-staff-engineering-manager-interview-ba55a6)) **Role:** Engineering Manager · Staff / L6 > “The process was smooth and candidate friendly. The recruiter gave enough context about the rounds. I found the feedback received was at a very high level and not much details were shared specifically for the design round.” 5. **Capital One — 6 months ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/capital-one-business-analyst-interview-593c64)) **Role:** Business Analyst · Entry Level / L3 > “The interview lasted about four hours and was divided into several sections. One section focused on behavioral questions, where I was asked about my past experiences, how I handle different situations, and examples of teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Another section assessed my math skills through quantitative and analytical questions. The final section was technical and conceptual, testing my understanding of fundamental technical concepts, my reasoning process, and how I approached solving technical problems rather than simply recalling facts.” 6. **Freshworks — 2 years ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/freshworks-technical-program-manager-interview-047567)) **Role:** Technical Program Manager · Mid Level / L4 > “The process was bit lag but being patient wins the race. Be confident, explain deeply on your experience, work that uniquely done, times you have gone above and beyond. How you uplifted the team and delivered” 7. **Expedia — 2 years ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/expedia-senior-software-engineer-interview-111992)) **Role:** Software Engineer · Senior / L5 > “The recruiter screen was very basic, about experience and expectations. The coding part had two problems, one LC easy and another LC medium but also on the easier side. The system design is very similar to what you find on the first few problems on youtube.” 8. **Deloitte — 3 years ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/deloitte-management-consultant-interview-f57ce1)) **Role:** Management Consultant · Entry Level / L3 > “The process was structured and fairly rigorous, with a good mix of behavioral questions and case-based problem solving. The recruiter was clear about what to expect and provided helpful guidance on how to prepare. I appreciated that the interviewers were engaged and gave me room to explain my thinking rather than focusing only on the final answer. The main challenge was the pace of some of the case discussions, where there was limited time to structure the problem and work through the analysis. Overall, though, the process felt organized and relevant to the work of a management consultant.” 9. **Amazon — 3 years ago** ([experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/amazon-account-manager-interview-69dad7)) **Role:** Account Manager · Mid Level / L4 > “Overall good. Round interview really intense. 1 hour for each and have to deal with 4 managers one by one.” ## Community answers No answers have been contributed by the community yet. ## Related questions - [Tell me about your design process.](https://www.aced.io/questions/3360/describe-your-design-process) - [Tell me about your interest in AI.](https://www.aced.io/questions/5598/interest-in-ai) - [Tell me about your last job.](https://www.aced.io/questions/3211/tell-about-last-job) ## Related courses ### [Product Strategy Questions](https://www.aced.io/courses/product-strategy) ![Product Strategy Questions](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/5hHtTyOypgyKA7R3fxMlyl/dde193ecc09baabd8304c3aec25483f2/product_strategy_course_ab4d3cf294.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) Product strategy is fundamentally different in the AI era, and we explain how to approach these rounds effectively within the new rules. ### [AI Engineering Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/ai-engineering) ![AI Engineering Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/25mhKSvDOiCwC89lDj89Ah/9a5fbfacc8d93f05c238ab55baa4e5e5/fde.png?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) Prepare for AI engineering interviews at companies such as Google, Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI with frameworks, example questions, and mock interviews with senior engineers.
