Presentation Behavioral

It was a super chill vibe. I had two chats in a week, one with the person who would be my manager and another with HR. Both were online. They asked me to do a general presentation and then asked some behavioral questions. The team was great at explaining what the job was about and what they were looking for.

The interview is just for eyewash. All the positions are filled internally based on recommendations and are very biased, so it's just a waste of time and better not to apply for any position.

The interview process was very thorough and professional, with a deep dive into PM skills and how I'd handle specific situations. It included standard questions about my strengths, weaknesses, difficult projects, and how I'd approach saving a failing project. The interviews were conducted virtually because of COVID.
