They asked irrelevant trivial questions and were very rude. The interviewer put up a very strange whiteboard question, and tried to solve it later in the interview and could not solve it. I spoke with an Indian gentleman who had a very strong accent, when I could not answer the question since I could hardly understand him he breaths at me and laughs. I said 'pardon me' 3 times but still could not understand his accent and it was too rude to keep telling him to repeat himself. What you think of when you hear the company TIREBUYER is exactly what you should expect when you arrive.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TireBuyer.com (Kirkland, WA) in May 2018
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter for a contract-to-hire at TireBuyer (part of American Tire Distributors). He scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager within a day, and an in-person interview with 5 people happened soon afterward. I enjoyed the conversation, but they struggled to explain how the work would be split with the other PM/PO.
Currently they have a single scrum team that's much larger than the recommended size, with plans to split the team up. When that occurs, it might be easier to split the PM responsibilities.
They were replacing a PM they'd let go, and described the issue as needing a PM who was more interested in learning the details and technology behind their projects.

Interview
Very casual and conversational. Not a lot of "list" questions, but more of a holistic understanding of my experience and what the team envisioned moving forward for my position. Did not have a phone interview - only one in person interview.
