      Programme Manager Interview

      12 Feb 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NESTA in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The interviewers were kind and friendly. The interview was 45 minutes of standard competency and technical questions around challenges and prizes as well as management style (very similar/identical to questions already on glassdoor). To my surprise, I found the interviewers' answers to my own questions about team/work culture and strategy to be less inspiring than I expected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Describe one of Nesta's challenge prizes that most interests you and how you would add value to it as Programme Manager. 2. What is a challenge and what are the strengths and weaknesses of using them in international development? 3. What is your experience and approach to line management? 4. What are the key attributes/skills needed for managing stakeholders? 5. How have you adjusted to working from home? 6. Tell us about a challenge/problem you encountered and how you resolved it.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NESTA (London, England) in May 2024

      Interview

      May 2024 - I applied online (x3 application questions), then was invited to complete a video interview (stage 1) where x3 questions which popped up on a screen and I recorded my answers), then an in-person interview (stage 2), which took place at their office in London. The interview was fairly informal, they had some questions to go through but chipped in with others, so it felt more like discussion. After two weeks I hadn't heard anything, so I followed up via email. After a further week I followed up again as I didn't hear anything back, and I was told that someone would ask the panel to get back to me. It's now two months later and I haven't heard from them.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NESTA in Mar 2020

      Interview

      The assessment in the application process was entirely anonymous. They also provided feedback and information on how the assessment was made and how was the application rated. Although it did not result in an offer, it felt fair and unbiased.
