Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Alarm.com.
Entrevista
I have interviewed with Alarm.com for 3 separate PM roles over the past 6 months. Every hiring manager was full-time remote while I was expected to be in-office in Tysons Corner 4 days a week. The base pay for DC-metro area is HORRIBLE - less than a 6-figure base salary. When I asked about career progression in product in the company, I was told there was no set career progression. I was also told that they aren't looking for someone who chases impact and is able to share responsibilities with stakeholder teams which blurs the lines of a PM's role. Everyone at the company seems to be... older which is fine, but everything is just so old-fashioned. I declined further interviews and the on-site panel interview.

Normal "tell me about a time when" questions, how many unpainted cubes are in a 10x10x10 cube with exterior painted, can a stack of pennies the height of the Empire State building fit in my office, etc. Lots of "brain games" questions that had nothing to do with how a PM thinks or processes information.
Difficult product interview with high specificity to their business. They ignored factors that I raised that would influence the decision. Overall a difficult case and after not receiving an offer I received no response from the recruiter I was working with.

I’ve done many interviews and this one was very odd. The interview process went well up until the end when the recruiter asked me for salary requirement. I asked for a range they were offering for this role. She proceed to say she can get me any salary... It was an odd response but I shared my salary anyways then my target. The recruiter instantly got offended. Then back paddles on her comment. It felt very unprofessional at this point. My salary requirement was within PM to SPM range so I don’t understand what happened. As a recruiter they should know their candidate salaries with their resume. I knew after I got off the phone call with the recruiter that she wasn’t moving me to the next round of interviews.
Overall, I do not recommend interviewing for this company if you’re looking for a competitive salary.
