I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Solace
Interview
The recruiter described the interview process as having several steps. Phone screen, hiring manager interview, team panel, culture interview, and I forgot the last one.
The recruiter was very helpful in answering all my questions, and I felt like they knew what they were looking for in a candidate.
However, the hiring manager's interview started late, and they didn't seem prepared to conduct it. The call was for 30 minutes, but it probably would have ended after five minutes if I weren't the one carrying the conversation. I had no idea what they were looking for, and it was a waste of my time.

Other Product Manager interview reviews for Solace
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Solace (Redwood City, CA) in June 2026
Interview
Recruiter outreach followed by 2 rounds. None was particularly memorable then weeks later got an invite to onsite final round. Very odd. I would not bother interviewing here unless you don’t mind spending time on free consulting.
1. Recruiter Screening
2. Take home Assessment
3. Interview with founder, Sarah
I did not have a positive experience in my conversation with the founder. The interview was rescheduled twice, and communication from the team felt disorganized. During the call, the interaction itself felt rushed and lacking in engagement, which made it difficult to have a productive, two-way conversation.
