Technical Behavioral Presentation
There were a lot of interview rounds, both remote and in-person. A work product was required to advance. The interviewers were pleasant, but the atmosphere felt quite aggressive and 'bro-like' when discussing company culture. Additionally, there were many tricky, detailed questions about PMI processes.

Got a phone interview that was about 40-45 minutes long. Then, about 4-5 days later, they invited me for an in-person Panel Interview with 4 people. The questions were pretty fair and actually related to the job description.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First, there was a recruiter call for 30 minutes where we went over the role and some standard personality and experience questions. The recruiter was nice until the end when I got ghosted with no feedback. Then, a 30-minute call with a Sr Manager to go over my background, project needs, and position requirements. It was pleasant and I was invited for an in-person interview. The first in-person interview was 1 hour with a panel of three: Supervisor, Sr PM, and Biz Dev. They asked very general PM questions from a list, no real dialogue, just turn-taking. Keep answers short and elaborate if asked. The final 1-hour in-person interview was with the same panel. Again, very general questions, surprisingly little in-depth discussion on experience. The process felt robotic, though the interviewers were pleasant. Not much time for my questions, and we were out right at the hour mark. Advise preparing cue-card responses, keeping things moving, and not expecting much understanding of the process. Also, get your PMP and ask if it was an internal role first to save time.
