How it went
The candidate applied for two Product Manager roles at OpenAI, securing an interview via referral. The initial recruiter screen was brief and candid, though it foreshadowed an inconsistent process as the described format differed from the actual interviews. The candidate completed two case interviews, one focused on a practical product launch scenario and the other described as disorganized due to rescheduling and an interviewer unfamiliar with the role's requirements. While deemed not a fit for one role, they remain under consideration for another and are awaiting confirmation of the final interview format.
