Behavioral Presentation Technical
3 rounds of interviews. First was just a HR recruiter phone screening. Second was a video call with hiring manager and a supervisor where they asked about work history and behavioral questions. When invited to the third interview, was asked to pick one of four PM-related situational scenarios that were and to put together a short presentation on how to approach the scenario and provide a resolution. This was presented during the third video conference interview among a panel of 6 people where they then questioned how and why I got to the conclusions presented - there were not necessarily any wrong answers, just needed to take a PMP approach to the scenario chosen, The panel was intimidating at first but everyone was incredibly friendly .

Behavioral
I got a call from a recruiter about six weeks after applying. A bit later, I had a 30-minute phone chat with the hiring manager. After that, I was invited for in-person interviews. I had about three hours of back-to-back 1:1 interviews. I wasn't ready for a behavioral interview, but that's what it turned out to be. Each person interviewing me had some papers with questions they read to me. As I answered, they wrote down my response under the question. If you don't know about behavioral interviews, look it up and practice. Weirdly, the recruiter never called or emailed me after the interview. I left a voicemail and then emailed a few days later, but got no reply. Finally, I got through to her on the phone almost three weeks later. She said they decided to go a different way, which I don't get. She told me to apply again for future jobs. Everything about the job and company was great, except for that recruiter.

Recruiter reached out, then I had 2 phone screenings and a phone interview. The final stage was an in-person interview with 4 people: the department director, a program manager, and two service managers. They wanted to know about my past experience and how I'd manage various project management scenarios.
