I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Future (Bath, Inglaterra) in Jan 2024
Interview
- Initial with recruiter: basic competency q's
- Initial with Manager: slightly more difficult competency qs. "name a time you did x, what was the outcome/value delivered"
- Tech task - analyse a data set, make a presentation, build a product roadmap, describe an epic feature. Overly detailed, excessively lengthy and required industry specific knowledge. Baring in mind this was a Junior position, this was frustrating.
- Final with both Managers - car crash. No structure, interviewers were seemingly improvising and failed to ask basic introductory questions about my background. Led to them asking very specific PM related questions about using JIRA which I had no idea about. If they had made the effort to ask my background, they would've learned that I'm a software engineer looking to make the switch into the Junior PM role. Half way through the interview one of the managers left. Which I found to be highly disrespectful given that the outcome of this call would potentially determine whether or not I moved half way across the country. Do companies some companies forget you're interviewing them as well?

- explain a time you had to manage multiple priorities
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Future in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview experience was per normal. I wasn't successful in the role which made sense, however the fact that it took the recruitment agency the company used over 3 weeks to get back to me when they knew i had another offer waiting was abysmal. I had to chase 4 times, only to ring and found at at the 3 week mark that he'd not had chance to let me know whether i'd been successful.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Future (Washington, DC) in Jan 2020
Interview
A call with the director, then in-person with 4 of the team members. Seemed to go fine but never heard back. Personally emailed every one of them after the interview thanking them for their time and not a reply. extremely rude and unprofessional, it takes 1 minute to reply “no problem”. Besides that, how hard is it to email “sorry, we went in a different direction” after reaching out to the director several times trying to get an answer. Bummed because the people I spoke to seemed like genuine individuals however the company seemed to be in a “transitional” phase..
Hi.
Firstly, thanks for being interested in a role at Future. I know you will have put a lot of thought and time into your application and interview. Therefore I am really sorry that you have not had a response from us following your interview.
We are a very fast moving business and as we have grown rapidly, not all of our systems and processes are as slick as we would like, so sometimes things fall through the cracks. But this is no excuse for not coming back to you following your interview - I will personally look into the situation and ensure that we ensure we take the time to provide feedback.
