The interview process was considerably lengthy, taking over a month to progress from the initial discussion to the technical interview stage. The role was advertised as a Senior Project/Program Manager position focused on Agile delivery, stakeholder management, governance, risk management, budgeting, and end-to-end delivery of web and mobile application projects.
However, the interview experience did not appear to align with the responsibilities outlined in the job description. Most questions focused on theoretical Agile and QA metrics rather than practical program management, project execution, stakeholder communication, risk mitigation, governance, customer management, or delivery leadership. Very little time was spent discussing real-world project management experience, large-scale program delivery, or leadership scenarios.
Overall, the process felt more focused on textbook concepts than evaluating the capabilities expected of a senior project management professional.
