Behavioral Technical Case
The interview was a behavioral interview based on real-world project management experience. It focused on managing large portfolio projects for client deliveries, specifically upgrading and migrating Teradata systems to the Cloud. The interview was non-technical. It's important to study the job description closely to understand the main responsibilities of the position you applied for, particularly if it involves people management.

Behavioral
I was reached out to on LinkedIn by a Teradata recruiter for a remote project manager role. First, I had a chat with the recruiter. Then, I got an email with an interview time. I replied about 15 hours later, confirming I could make it, but got another email 5 hours after that saying the slot was taken. They offered a new time and asked me to reply faster. I confirmed I could make the new slot too. The interview was set for 30 minutes with 2 PMs. One PM was 8 minutes late, so we waited. Then they said they had a hard stop in 22 minutes and asked me to keep my answers brief. They asked about relocation, and I said no, even though the recruiter said it was remote. They then said it wasn't. The entire interview felt like a waste of my time.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you introduce yourself and explain your motivation for seeking a new position?
