First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at fusionSpan.
Senior Project Manager
The interview process was pretty smooth overall. However, one question they asked was a total turn-off for me. They asked me to list the 10 pillars of project management, and honestly, that felt like a red flag. Being able to just recite memorized stuff doesn't really show real experience, you know? At that point, I figured this probably wasn't the right fit for me.
- Can you list the 10 pillars of Project Management as defined by the PMBOK?
Project Manager
The interview process started with a video interview where I was asked to describe my project experience, the difference between scrum and kanban, how I track projects, what tools I've used, and about a challenging project I worked on.
- Can you tell me about your experience with managing projects?
- What distinguishes scrum from kanban methodologies?
- Could you elaborate on your project experience?
Project Manager
First, there was a video screen where I had to record answers to five questions, some of which were technical. Then, I had a call with a recruiter where we went over more technically-geared questions. Next, I interviewed with the hiring manager(s) who asked technical and scenario-based questions. Finally, I had interviews with the VP and/or Director level, which were very technical. Throughout all the interviews, there wasn't much time for casual conversation, it was really a technical evaluation of my skills in every round. In my experience, not much opportunity for mutual rapport building.
- Could you describe what a project is?
- Can you describe the SDLC?
- What is the critical path?
