I applied through other source. I interviewed at Fanatics
Interview
Two phone screens and a 3-interview loop with teammates and partner team-member. The decision took a little longer than I would have liked - over 3 weeks after my final loop.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fanatics (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
After HR screen + Behavioral interview with hiring manager and peer, I was asked to complete 2 take home assignments. This is not that strange given the market these days. What made this a terrible experience was the depth of the ask.
There were 2 distinct prompts. One asking for a full PRD (page limit less than 10) and a light-analytics exercise asking for a summary of results (page limit less than 3).
Upon sending this collateral to the team, I was sent a generic rejection letter from my recruiter with absolutely no feedback.
In retrospect, I should have saved my time and just declined to proceed with the opportunity. Would not recommend any candidate to go through this process as it’s not worth the risk spending time to going through this type of exercise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case prompt with a hypothetical scenario as a PM of some manufacturing company. Asked to provide a PRD (draft) outlining what enterprise tooling features I’d prioritize to build.
Second separate prompt. Provided sales and inventory data of a retail operation and asked to provide a 3 page or less summary of findings and a recommendation.
