Two candidates who interviewed for Senior Product Manager roles at Attentive describe quite different experiences, so treat the details below as individual reports and not a fixed format. Both ended without an offer.
The fuller account describes six rounds: a recruiter screen, product sense and product execution interviews with PMs, two behavioral rounds with the hiring manager, and a final behavioral conversation with the CPO. That candidate called the questions fairly standard for a senior PM loop, but pointed on self-awareness. They were asked about their PM superpower and what they would need to develop. They also said the recruiter scheduled prep calls before each interview. The process ended when the company said it was no longer hiring at that level.
The other candidate had a recruiter call that never happened and a roughly 30-minute hiring manager conversation. It centered on walking through their background, and they felt their resume had not been closely read. They also said the job title had changed without notice, and they heard nothing afterward.
In practice, prepare a concise career story you can deliver quickly, along with honest strengths and development areas backed by examples. If you are interviewing at senior level, rehearse product sense and execution cases aloud. Confirm the exact role and level with your recruiter early, and follow up on scheduling and next steps yourself.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report the process starting with a recruiter, either as a screen or as a LinkedIn outreach followed by a scheduled call. One candidate says a first call was missed and later confirmed the title had changed. Confirm the role and level early, and expect that scheduling may need your follow-up.
One candidate describes a roughly 30-minute call with the hiring manager that began with a request to tell them about yourself and walk through your experience. They felt their resume had not been fully reviewed. A concise, well-rehearsed career summary would help in this kind of conversation.
In the six-round report, the recruiter screen was followed by product sense and product execution interviews with PMs. The candidate described the questions as fairly standard for a senior PM loop. Applicants at this level should typically be ready to structure product problems and discuss how they would deliver and measure outcomes.
The same candidate reports two behavioral rounds with the hiring manager and a final behavioral conversation with the CPO. Questions included their PM superpower and what they need to develop. Prepare specific examples of strengths and growth areas. That candidate was told the company was no longer hiring at that level, and the other candidate received no follow-up.
