Entretien
Applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by the recruiter. Subsequently transferred to the recruiter's manager. She was articulate and was knowledgeable about product management function. I felt that was a peek into the quality of the people working at MuleSoft.
This was followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was nice to talk on the phone and asked general background related questions. They had two different openings that I could fit into. My in-person interview was scheduled for 3 weeks later at the MuleSoft offices.
The office is a pretty open layout and in a great location. The interview was conducted by four other PMs- nice, personable people. The questions were easy - probably because the other PMs were early in their careers. During the interview, I found out that the position I was being interviewed for was already filled and they were looking to see if I would fit the other position. Would have been nice if they had asked me first if I was still interested. The final person to interview was the exec - again nice to talk to.
Overall, the interview process was easy and the folks that I interacted with were pleasant and nice to interact with. However, after this point there was ZERO communication. I mailed the recruiter and the hiring manager and neither of them bothered to return my call/email.
Mulesoft recruiting team needs to understand that other people's time is valuable too. I had to skip an entire day of meetings and work to be in the city to attend this interview, the least they could have done was to return call/email stating they were not interested. This is unprofessional, IMHO.

Entretien
Result: HR informed me they would no longer be pursuing candidates for PM roles, but instead focusing on mission-critical positions.
Referred by employee, had a single phone screen before visiting the HQ. Met with three or four people on-site, then had a follow-up call with an individual I did not get to meet.
Company: I think Mulesoft has an amazing product offering and could be a gigantic company ($100B+ market cap).
Execs: I met with one exec and he was great. Lucid thinker, driven, articulate.
Middle management (product): Uninspiring. I wasn't impressed by their dynamic, questions, or position on the company.
Devs: I met with a dev manager and he was great. Smart, friendly, tech agnostic.

Question 1
There were no difficult questions. One interviewer went on a question spree, but none were particularly interesting.

Entretien
A phone screen, two interviews with the hiring manager, an in-person interview with product managers/VP Product, and a final interview with a senior product manager and CEO.
Phone Screen and HR manager interviews were standard behavioral questions.
In-office interviews with product managers were mostly standard questions "tell me about a product you love/why this (product in the room) was designed the way it was." They asked a brainteaser "how many gas stations are in San Francisco" and seemed to place extreme weight on the importance of performing well on brainteasers. CEO was more interested in GPA/SAT scores than past achievements/experience. Indicated that they have a narrow definition of intelligence around brainteasers/gpa/SAT scores. Otherwise, pleasant people to interview with.

Question 1
How many Gas Stations are in San Francisco (considering how these types of brainteasers have been proven to be a poor indicator for determining candidate quality).
