      Project Manager Interview

      31 Dec 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Torrance, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Portal Group (Torrance, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Phone Interview with department hiring manager went really well, she was very down to earth, easy to talk to. After some brief questions about my background she got into details of the position and then asked me some more specifics about my past roles. A couple days later I was contacted by the initial recruiter and scheduled to come in for face to face interviews. I interviewed with 2 department heads, and a marketing manager. First department head was late to the interview, and seemed very disengaged from the process. He asked some very specific questions that seemed to relate to their business process, but not really common for software development. I had a tough time connecting with him. 2nd department head asked no tough questions, although he was very obviously not happy with the company, and seemed as if he was trying to talk me out of wanting the position. Marketing Manager was very nice, and the interview was really easy, no real job related questions. I left feeling confused about the company, and not all that excited about the proposition of working there. That being said, they never even called or emailed back to let me know the status of the interview process. I even followed-up with the recruiter numerous times after that and he never responded. Very unprofessional from start to finish. I'm glad I didn't get the job. I found out later through a friend, the marketing manager quit a couple weeks later, and said most of the employees are very unhappy.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q's : How would you deal with an unhappy client? Tell me about your project management methodology? Explain to me the difference between Agile and Traditional project management frameworks?
