Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa MuleSoft (San Francisco, CA).
Entrevista
Applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by the recruiter. Subsequently transferred to the recruiter's manager. She was articulate and was knowledgeable about product management function. I felt that was a peek into the quality of the people working at MuleSoft.
This was followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was nice to talk on the phone and asked general background related questions. They had two different openings that I could fit into. My in-person interview was scheduled for 3 weeks later at the MuleSoft offices.
The office is a pretty open layout and in a great location. The interview was conducted by four other PMs- nice, personable people. The questions were easy - probably because the other PMs were early in their careers. During the interview, I found out that the position I was being interviewed for was already filled and they were looking to see if I would fit the other position. Would have been nice if they had asked me first if I was still interested. The final person to interview was the exec - again nice to talk to.
Overall, the interview process was easy and the folks that I interacted with were pleasant and nice to interact with. However, after this point there was ZERO communication. I mailed the recruiter and the hiring manager and neither of them bothered to return my call/email.
Mulesoft recruiting team needs to understand that other people's time is valuable too. I had to skip an entire day of meetings and work to be in the city to attend this interview, the least they could have done was to return call/email stating they were not interested. This is unprofessional, IMHO.

Entrevista
Result: HR informed me they would no longer be pursuing candidates for PM roles, but instead focusing on mission-critical positions.
Referred by employee, had a single phone screen before visiting the HQ. Met with three or four people on-site, then had a follow-up call with an individual I did not get to meet.
Company: I think Mulesoft has an amazing product offering and could be a gigantic company ($100B+ market cap).
Execs: I met with one exec and he was great. Lucid thinker, driven, articulate.
Middle management (product): Uninspiring. I wasn't impressed by their dynamic, questions, or position on the company.
Devs: I met with a dev manager and he was great. Smart, friendly, tech agnostic.

There were no difficult questions. One interviewer went on a question spree, but none were particularly interesting.

Entrevista
A phone screen, two interviews with the hiring manager, an in-person interview with product managers/VP Product, and a final interview with a senior product manager and CEO.
Phone Screen and HR manager interviews were standard behavioral questions.
In-office interviews with product managers were mostly standard questions "tell me about a product you love/why this (product in the room) was designed the way it was." They asked a brainteaser "how many gas stations are in San Francisco" and seemed to place extreme weight on the importance of performing well on brainteasers. CEO was more interested in GPA/SAT scores than past achievements/experience. Indicated that they have a narrow definition of intelligence around brainteasers/gpa/SAT scores. Otherwise, pleasant people to interview with.

How many Gas Stations are in San Francisco (considering how these types of brainteasers have been proven to be a poor indicator for determining candidate quality).
