Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at PATH.
Project Manager
A friend referred me for the role. Sue Wallace, a senior recruiter, reached out for an initial chat, and it was a nice conversation where she really tried to understand me. After that, I had an in-person interview with the hiring manager and then another with the strategy team. The questions were super smart and got into the details of real project management work. It was tough but fun. Sue was involved throughout, which was great.
- Can you share an example of a significant decision you've made?
- Walk me through the process you followed to make that decision.
- What elements do you weigh when making choices?
Project Manager
The screening process took longer than other companies (due to vacations), so I was quite a ways into the process with other employers when PATH got back to me. When I explained that I had other opportunities, the HR representative was very understanding and worked hard to move the process along as it was a good fit in both directions. It was hard to schedule interviews as interviewers were traveling and had vacations. I had a phone screening interview with the Recruiter and came in a total of 3 times for in person interviews (due to scheduling this was easier and I was local so this expedited the process). I was extended an offer immediately after my last in person interview.

Program Assistant
After applying, I heard back from the recruiter in about a week. They then set me up for an interview with the project team members I would be working with. The interview itself felt good; they seemed to like my answers, and I liked theirs. They shared more details about the role. It all went great, and a few days later, I got a test task. I finished it on time, but then I was ghosted. It's been a month since I heard anything. I was really hopeful because it was the best interview I'd had so far in my job search, but it ended up being a waste of time.
