    It’s a pretty good list.

    However, having the following as “red flags” is a “red flag” to me. Although I’d pass them, they seem more like cultural biases than appropriate measures of quality.

    - “Has never worked with a previous teammate in a new company.”

    - “Has never participated or built an alumni community based on previous experience”

    This seems more like a "front-line product manager" hiring cheatsheet.

    This is like a mission statement of how to operate for long term success.
