First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at ORBCOMM.
Sales Manager
I spoke with HR, the hiring manager, and the LOB director. The process went quickly and was uncomplicated. I thought the questions were appropriate and reasonable. There were hardly any standard or generic interview questions.
- Can you elaborate on your previous work experiences?
- Could you provide a detailed overview of your resume?
Software Engineer
This involved asking about my past experiences and what I did in my previous roles. They also asked technical questions on Javascript, React, CSS, HTML, and Java. A lot of questions were about new features in React. It was a panel interview with 3 people jumping between them.
- What new features were introduced in ES6?
- Can you describe your past experiences and responsibilities in previous roles?
- Do you have technical knowledge of Javascript?
Pre-Sales Engineer
The pre-sales engineer role at ORBCOMM is pretty unique and requires deep knowledge of my current industry. Because of this, my interview process was a bit longer than usual for other roles at ORBCOMM. I met with several people, and the interviews weren't just about them deciding if they wanted me, but also to check if the role was a good fit for me. It was evident they were seeking someone who wanted to build a long-term career in this position, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Everyone I spoke with was very polite and made me feel comfortable.
- I was asked about my willingness to travel.
- They inquired about my experience with ORBCOMM solutions.
- I was asked how comfortable I am with speaking to customers.
Product Management Director
It was a virtual interview process with a few stages: first, an HR screen, then a meeting with the hiring manager (an SVP), and finally an interview loop where I met with individuals. There were also a couple of follow-up chats with the hiring SVP to go over any questions I had during the whole thing. It all went pretty smoothly, and the interviews were professional, focusing on answering my questions about the job, and they made an offer pretty fast. I really liked how they made sure Orbcomm was a good fit for me and my career goals, just as much as they were checking if I was a good fit for them. All in all, it was a really good experience.
- Can you discuss your product management experience and background?
- What are some of your key accomplishments in your product management career?
- How do you perceive the product management role?
