It was a pretty standard interview. They gave me company info, talked about who PMs report to, and the structure of capital projects. The interviewer knew a lot about the company, but said we'd cover detailed PM questions in the next round.

I applied online and had a phone call with the recruiter. I asked the recruiter if this was a secure position and wouldn't be affected by layoffs. She said it was 100% good for now and they wanted to move forward with the role ASAP, that it was organizationally important, etc. Two days later, the recruiter emailed me back saying the role is on hold due to company patterns. Be transparent from the start. Don’t waste my time and yours. It’s frustrating to say the least especially when the job market is at an all time low. Don’t play around with potential employees here.

The first step was a recruiter call to get to know me and talk about the role. Then, I had a second meeting with the head of the department to go into more detail. The final round was with the hiring manager and someone from another team. Everyone was pretty nice, but I got mixed messages about what the job actually entails and what's needed to do well. They all emphasized they were looking externally because no one internally applied. It seemed like they needed someone to help with too much work and bring some order to a chaotic team/program, but they weren't clear on the exact qualifications. Honestly, I wish the interviewers had been on the same page about what they were looking for and explained the role better.
