GitHub Program Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The whole hiring process took over two months, and the communication was the main problem. There were really long gaps between interview stages with hardly any updates. I constantly had to chase them to find out if anything was happening, and they never gave me any timelines, feedback, or a clear idea of what was coming next. This lack of basic organization made what could have been a great opportunity feel like a frustrating and demotivating experience. I even had to contact the scheduler because the recruiter wasn't getting back to me. Even though the people I spoke with were smart and really nice, the overall recruiting process felt messy and like it wasn't a priority, which left a bad impression. Because of this, I wouldn't consider applying or interviewing with them again unless they seriously improve their process and how they communicate.

First, there's an HR screening for about an hour. If that goes well, there are about two or three more interviews, each lasting an hour, with the Hiring Manager, another program manager, and other folks in the company.

Recruiter set up an interview for a week out. I signed the NDA and they confirmed the date. When the interview date arrived, the recruiter didn't show up. I emailed them to see if we should reschedule. They called me 30 minutes later, apologizing and saying they were out sick, and asked me to reschedule. I told them to feel better and we'd talk the following week. I sent my availability again... radio silence. A week passed, I followed up again. Still nothing. I found out a week later that they closed the position via an automated message. Wasted my time.
