      PMO Lead Interview

      21 May 2013
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (London, England) in May 2012

      Interview

      I was contacted by external agency Pari-Passu which didn't provide me either with job specs or daily rate for the position I was applying for. I got invited over for the interview with the potential line manager for this role. He asked a number of competency-based questions in regards to my previous experience as he wanted a proof that I'm hitting all the boxes for this job. I was applying for a contractor's role though, so it only took 1 interview to make through, after which I've received an offer and accepted it. It took around 3 weeks for screening (instead of 1 week), due to "technical problems with on-boarding", though I think they had problems with their HR processes in general + lack of resources + holiday period.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standardised competency-based questions mostly (e.g. Tell me how you've resolved a particular situation (an example is then given from the head)) - The line manager I was interviewed with didn't have interest in trying to trick me with his questions - purely focused on my experience, aiming to make sure I can justify my CV.
