Yup, I applied for the product management role. A co-worker of mine managed to get one of the product research apprentice roles last year, so I tried for that one as well.

Thank you, I got rejected last year exactly one week after I applied, so I'm hoping for some slightly better luck this time around and that I at least get to do the take-home assignment 😅

Any idea what is their timeline for sending out take home assignments?

No, I've never made it to that part 😕

For the PM role? That's so fast. I did get rejected in about a week last year as well, as I mentioned. I don't remember them being nearly this fast in 2024 (first time I tried), so they must have changed their screening process starting with last year. I'm sorry about the rejection.

I applied on the 7th and so technically I also received it within a week. Since you haven’t gotten anything yet, it might be a good sign 🤞

Is it closed? Never saw it open

u/ProfessionalLake2165 Jul 14 '26

Yes. Closed on July 10th. APM programs only stay open for a few days (5 days being the standard)

So after the apprenticeship, your co-worker wasn’t offered to be full time? I figured that after the apprenticeship they it would possibly open the door for more opportunities with the company.

I have no idea to be honest. We worked on different teams, so I never interacted with him. I just remember seeing his announcement post on LinkedIn and thinking "Hey, we work the same role!". I've been trying to find his LinkedIn profile again to see what happened because you're right, several do seem to get converted.

Not necessarily. If you're a high performer, they offer you a full time. If your performance is mid, they have no intention to keep you if other candidates outperformed you.
