Entrevista
The interview process was pretty straightforward. No crazy technical product sense, estimation or strategy questions. Just a lot of behavioral interview questions.
The interview process was quite frustrating for me, especially because the company went through a round of layoffs, and the recruiter who was assigned to me was laid off and then I had to reach out to a couple of people to get the interview process going.

- How would you solve [domain specific] problem?
- [Describes a scenario with cross-functional partners, and an issue of misalignment]: how would you solve this problem as a PM?
Fine - just a bit more dragged out than I'd like. Team seemed a bit more focused on the job at hand than passion for the company. Many rounds + presentation.

There was one uninspired convo with a product lead, answering some questions on how to skim margin off restaurant operators. Asking questions in-return revealed a lack of any inspiring vision for the product - had to field the most generic answers copied from some corpo book - learned absolutely nothing (learning per unit of time as low as the stock price).

How would you monetize x,y,z, services for sellers etc.
Cleared 4-5 rounds with them. Had good discussions with their DoP and engineering folks.
The final round was with their India site leader. She is someone they hired from Amazon. She asked me what I was looking for in my next stint. Amongst other things, I mentioned that I am also looking for some resemblance of a work life balance (for context I was working in a start up where I had not taken a day off in last 14 months, no Saturdays , no Sundays). The moment I said this, she responded with sarcasm, "that oh so you want to join here just so that you can chill out". I knew, I didn't want to work for such a leader. So I just managed to somehow thank her for her time and get off the call.
I want to say a lot more on the topic, but I will leave it up to karma to give the "leader" her due.
