These are candidate-reported experiences concerning the named companies and roles, not Aced's own results. ### Uber — 6 months ago [Read the Uber experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/uber-senior-product-manager-interview-995f70) > “The process was a short recruiter screen, then a hiring manager round that spent way more time on an older role on my resume than on my current job, plus a rushed mini jam at the end. After that I had to do a take-home deck for an events marketplace prompt and present it in a one-hour jam panel, then go through three more final interviews spread across three days. The loop felt inconsistent because nobody besides the hiring manager was actually from the team, and each interviewer had a completely different style, from rapid-fire generic PM questions to aggressive marketplace probing to a bizarre senior director case. I got rejected, but Uber did send unusually detailed written feedback afterward, which almost made it more frustrating because the strengths section was so strong and the main ding was marketplace economics that felt very insider-specific.” **Role:** Product Manager · Senior / L5 ### eBay — 10 months ago [Read the eBay experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/ebay-principal-engineering-manager-interview-b0f244) > “Standard interview process for the most part, however the Sr. Director hiring round was fast paced, very specific, and required executive decision making at speed.” **Role:** Engineering Manager · Principal / Director / L8+ ### Pinterest — a year ago [Read the Pinterest experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/pinterest-senior-product-manager-interview-83d0af) > “I interviewed for a Senior Product Manager role on Pinterest's media planner tool, and the recruiter screen was honestly the most important part because it set the tone for everything after that. Instead of making me repeat my resume, the recruiter told me she had already read it and asked what wasn't on the page, which let me position my mix of PM and media planning experience in a much more human way. After that I went through a hiring manager round, a product sense interview, two separate product execution interviews, then a final cross-functional interview and another conversation with the hiring manager. The process felt very thorough for a senior PM role, and the big themes were judgment, execution, segmentation, diagnosis, and how I work with engineering. The strongest signal I got was that they cared a lot about empathy and authenticity, especially because the product was for media planners and they seemed to value people who could really understand that user.” **Role:** Product Manager · Senior / L5 ### Tesla — 3 years ago [Read the Tesla experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/tesla-product-manager-interview-1ce0dc) > “The process was simple but slow, friendly environment, supportive panel. I got stuck during resume follow-ups” **Role:** Product Manager · Entry Level / L3 ## Community answers No answers have been contributed by the community yet. ## Related questions - [How do you prioritize competing features?](https://www.aced.io/questions/4880/prioritize-competing-features) - [How do you set goals for your engineering team?](https://www.aced.io/questions/1585/setting-goals-engineering-team) - [As a PM, how do you work with your engineering team?](https://www.aced.io/questions/5865/how-do-you-work-with-engineering) ## Related courses ### [Engineering Management Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/engineering-management) Land an engineering manager role at Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Stripe, and other top companies.
