Hopper Product Manager interview questions

First HR screening about 45 minutes. A generic discussion about the profile match. If you're a good fit, they send you the assignment which is supposed to be completed in 2 hours. It's a big assignment and 2 hours is too little. The assignment had 3 different sections. 1. Download Hopper app. Suggest recommendations to improve the app. Then pick the top recommendation and access revenue potential. 2. Data analysis. Some live data charts were given to analyze the data. 3. Design a technical solution for them for their existing business problem. Each section itself is big and Hopper's expectation to complete it in 2 hours is really fascinating. Somehow, I got it completed in 4 hours and submit it. It was sent by HR to their Tech team for review. The assignment was selected for the next round where I had to present the assignment to the head of the department. The interview went really well, the guy was super impressed and he loved what I did in the assignment. And the next day I got a rejection email. It looks like, through interviews, Hopper is getting free consultations on their real-world problems. They are finding out ideas on how to fix them. The assignment is ridiculous to even before talking to the hiring manager. I made a mistake. We should start rejecting such companies who are exploiting candidates for their own benefits. After this incident, I said no to all the companies who asked for assignments without having at least 2 rounds of interviews with the hiring team. And there are good companies out there who won't put you through this unjustified hiring process.

It was 30 min screening interview with hiring manager via Zoom. Nothing special. At the end of the interview he said that we would send me sort of a test, but I haven't heard any word from them again.
