I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Agoda (Bangkok) in Aug 2023
Interview
Sr. PM is the highest IC role at Agoda but the interview process felt like interviewing for an entry level or junior role with the online numerical test and math questions during the interview which is also not great for accessibility. There are 5 rounds in total with recruiter screening, the online test, the hiring manager, and other PMs. I don't think I did well on the online assessment and I still progressed forward, but eventually did not get an offer. Even if you're not interested in Agoda, they're interview cases are good for practice! One of the PMs I interviewed with though felt a little rude and condescending during the case interview. The recruiter also mentioned I will be interviewing for open teams (there will be team matching) but realized in the middle rounds that I was being honed in on one team and didn't get to prepare well for their side of the business, which I did not have much experience on. A heads-up from the recruiter would've helped.
