First, I had an initial call with the recruiter to get things set up, and then I had a panel interview via Microsoft Teams. The panel was made up of the director, a sr program manager, and 3 engineers. It was scheduled for 45 minutes but ended up going a bit longer, closer to an hour.

Had a phone screening that was pretty much the interview. Standard questions mostly. Two people were on the panel, but one didn't show up. They mostly wanted to see if I could connect my resume to what they were looking for in the job.

Behavioral Technical

I was recruited by the GDAIS recruitment team via LinkedIn for the Manager 2-Program Management position. This involved multiple phone interviews, including one with my potential direct supervisor (Portfolio Manager), followed by several face-to-face interviews with the VP, Director, and BD managers. The final stage included a complex onboarding process. I felt I was a strong fit for the role.
