I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gainsight (Hyderābād) in Oct 2021
Interview
I had two rounds of discussion.
1st - The director is a smart, distinguished person. Listens to every detail and captures important points.
2nd- senior product manager - he seemed a little confused to me on the JD and the question asked. He contradicted himself and after getting answers he gave random explanations [seemed like he came with a presumption of saying No], besides I believe beginners or people with less knowledge shouldn't be allowed to interview (even if they are an MBA holders).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I will mention 2nd round questions.
You are a Netflix PM and Hotstar is gaining market in India, how will you react?
I had a short call with recruiter, and first interview with hiring manager. I had very bad experience in arranging the interview with recruiter, the interview was also very poor, and finally received no feedback and just a template rejection email. Very poor process and no respect. You should expect same quality from such companies if you're accepted, so not recommended at all.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gainsight (Hyderābād) in July 2019
Interview
The interview with client in the US and the Indian product director went good. In the third round, There was a technical engineer who said he has no say in the interview process but to just share his feedback in the form of question n answers.
This technical engineer mentioned the names of Satya Nadella , Sundar Pichai and said "they are product managers and you need to listen to their speeches, you need to have a vijion (that's how he pronounced vision)"
That's when I felt , if I can be them I will have a company of my own and would not be applying to this one. Felt so demotivated by his superficial questions through out my interview time with him.
I'm glad that he did not let me through . Else I would have had to work under his exceptional expectations.
