## Interview experiences

Fourteen people shared the following experiences. Each account belongs to the named company and role shown.

1. **[Databricks](https://www.aced.io/experiences/databricks-product-manager-interview-a55251)** — a month ago; Product Manager, Entry Level / L3
   > “The process was quite straightforward. I had time to work on my PRD assignment and the guidelines were helpful. The only thing is that because you only get a week to complete it, the work can be vigorous.”

2. **[Apple](https://www.aced.io/experiences/apple-senior-software-engineer-interview-a33f8a)** — a month ago; Software Engineer, Senior / L5
   > “The process was very fair and there was a clear emphasis on communication and culture fit. Everyone I interviewed with was very pleasant and encouraging. My one complaint would be the sense that the recruiter was not helpful or informative when it came to preparing me on what to expect. Technical rounds emphasized practical ability and had strong correlation to the responsibilities of the role.”

3. **[Harvey AI](https://www.aced.io/experiences/harvey-ai-staff-product-manager-interview-998f60)** — 2 months ago; Product Manager, Staff / L6
   > “I interviewed for a PM role on Harvey's collaboration team in August 2026. I had one interview round and did not receive an offer. The interview was entirely behavioral. The interviewer asked about my background, why I wanted to work at Harvey, what I was proud of, and a product I had built. For the product discussion, I walked through a recommendations product I built, covering the business case, technical details, and go-to-market approach. The questions I remember were: ‘Why Harvey?’, ‘What are you proud of?’, and ‘Walk me through a product that you built.’ It was a straightforward conversation about my experience rather than a product case or technical exercise.”

4. **[Airbnb](https://www.aced.io/experiences/airbnb-sr-staff-product-manager-interview-1413e4)** — 2 months ago; Product Manager, Sr. Staff / L7
   > “The process was well-defined but the goals of each round were quite vague and ambiguous. The recruiter was unable to provide detailed insight on how to prep and what to expect in each interview”

5. **[Expedia](https://www.aced.io/experiences/expedia-product-manager-interview-a6430f)** — 3 months ago; Product Manager, Mid Level / L4
   > “What went well: I had similar prior experience, so I was able to talk a lot about my prior experience and go deep into it. What didn't go well: I did not have enough experience for the level that they were looking for.”

6. **[Sierra AI](https://www.aced.io/experiences/sierra-ai-forward-deployed-engineer-interview-99c71f)** — 5 months ago; Forward Deployed Engineer, Mid Level / L4
   > “The process was smooth in terms of communication and scheduling. The people I met were incredibly kind and high caliber. They were highly personable and seem they are trying to find others who can continue its culture of excellence.”

7. **[Two Sigma](https://www.aced.io/experiences/two-sigma-senior-software-engineer-interview-46a3f5)** — 7 months ago; Software Engineer, Senior / L5
   > “The overall interview process went smoothly. My recruiter was friendly and communicative, and flexible with my schedule (I was traveling and had to split up my interviews). I received feedback relatively quickly after each round (within a few days - I often had to wait longer with other companies). No surprises, the recruiter clearly described the type of interview for each round.”

8. **[Hubspot](https://www.aced.io/experiences/hubspot-senior-software-engineer-interview-4ca5a7)** — 7 months ago; Software Engineer, Senior / L5
   > “The process was straightforward, recruiter call followed by online assessment. Depending on the assessment, you are invited for a virtual on-site, with coding and system design. If you succeed, then there is a deep dive project round and finally behavioral. Interview is split into stages.”

9. **[Apple](https://www.aced.io/experiences/apple-software-engineer-interview-c85e6b)** — 7 months ago; Software Engineer, Mid Level / L4
   > “I applied online for a mid-level IC3 software engineering role in Apple's hardware org, and a recruiter reached out after the team liked my resume. After a short recruiter chat, I got a 24-hour Python take-home, then a 45-minute technical screen where I walked through the project and solved a palindrome-style coding question. The final loop was remote and split over two days, with six interviews total: a friendly hiring manager chat, a loose AI/system design round, and four Python rounds covering coding, class design, and debugging. Most of the interviewers were nice and the questions felt fair, but the debugging round was the hardest for me and the very last round felt much more like getting grilled. I got the rejection the following Monday, and they would not give any final-round feedback.”

10. **[DoorDash](https://www.aced.io/experiences/doordash-principal-product-manager-interview-6863b9)** — 10 months ago; Product Manager, Principal / Director / L8+
   > “It was well organized, and the teams took turns so as not to be redundant. It is helpful to go with data-backed examples like AI did for easy reference. While it is not always obvious, you can look up facts like who is the market leader in grocery or what's the number of customers /DAO for an app. It's not necessary to memorize all these Google-able numbers. I was asked a question about TikTok. I explained how I don't use apps that drain my time and focus, and they gave me a different question.”

11. **[Amazon](https://www.aced.io/experiences/amazon-staff-solutions-architect-interview-dde222)** — a year ago; Solutions Architect, Staff / L6
   > “Interviewers were supporting, he was happy to repeat/rephase questions. Some of the questions I was blank even the question was super easy but I was not able to answer”

12. **[Okta](https://www.aced.io/experiences/okta-software-engineer-intern-interview-d3b4bf)** — 2 years ago; Software Engineer, Intern
   > “I enjoyed the whole process and transparency throughout. Though it's a bit dated, I'm sure the general premise is still the same. Recruiter phone screen Online coding assessment 45 mins tech interview Onsite with 3 technical interviews and 2 behavioural (1 of my tech was cancelled) Communication was always clear and it took a bit longer since it was over the Christmas break. Got offer shortly after the final and accepted, super glad!”

13. **[Accenture](https://www.aced.io/experiences/accenture-management-consultant-interview-84ae76)** — 2 years ago; Management Consultant, Entry Level / L3
   > “The process was quite easy. The screen was low lift, and after passing it I got moved directly to the final round. The final round consisted of 2 hour long interviews, one was a presentation which I had time to prepare and one was a strengths and skills interview.”

14. **[Apple](https://www.aced.io/experiences/apple-site-reliability-engineer-interview-1348af)** — 3 years ago; Site Reliability Engineer, Mid Level / L4
   > “I was not interested to proceed with futher interview rounds since I got promoted in my current role”
