iSeatz Interview Questions
& Process

Applied through the careers page and then received a call from a coordinator a few days later for a phone screen. The phone screen was with the head of talent and lasted about 15-20 minutes. The interviewer was unprofessional, didn't introduce herself or the company/role, and didn't ask about my resume. She just went straight into behavioral questions and then asked if I had any questions. She said she'd let me know about next steps, but I never heard back.

I went through three interviews for this role. First was an hour-long phone call with HR about my resume. Then, a 40-minute phone screen with the PMO manager focusing on my project management experience. The final interview was a two-hour in-office session with the PMO manager and other project managers; it got rescheduled twice. This last one rehashed my project management background and included general personality questions. I got the sense they weren't really planning to hire anyone, and some questions felt like they were looking for free advice. None of it was hard; I think I'm more skilled than the manager I spoke with. They knew I had enough consulting experience to manage their PMO but decided to 'continue interviewing other candidates' without giving a clear reason, though they did say to apply for future roles. The PM team seemed cool, but I'd suggest using this as practice. An ex-employee mentioned they don't hesitate to interview people they don't intend to hire.

The interview process was laborious: an hour phone interview with HR, another hour long phone interview with the hiring manager and a 3 hour in-person interview with various department heads. This seemed understandable. However, iSeatz seems to have a reputation for getting "free work" out of candidates. After all the interviews, they gave a substantial assignment based on their real work needs and asked to create a solution, provide an analysis or make a recommendation. This isn't so uncommon but it's usually a case study or a hypothetical to show that you can do the work. iSeatz asks for more. It's hard to say no but I felt very used. Like I said, I've heard this from developers before and I felt it myself. Candidates beware: it feels like they are fishing for free work.

I interviewed with 4 different teams, with only one of those sessions being a technical interview. They reviewed my resume and past work experiences. They asked a mix of simple questions, and the team was really friendly and nice.
