Interview
After passing the phone interview, a week later I met with a half dozen interviewers from different functional areas connected via their "matrix" org structure. Each interview was scheduled 30 minutes apart. I personally found this to be too short to get my story out. In hindsight, I wish I would have had an abbreviated , concise interview format prepared. The people seemed nice enough. Some more senior managers seemed distracted or disinterested. My sense is that a conveyor belt of past candidates had worn them down. The position I applied for was still open three months later, so it must have been seriously being shopped around for candidates. The offices seemed a bit dark and only senior managers had access to windows.

Pretty standard interview process. They did do a group interview for the onsite interview which was a little different. Their HQ campus is very nice. The PMO large enough that it is its own group within the company across there different divisions.

Interview
Had three round of interviews - with the recruiter, director and sr. director with 30 min durations individually. Overall interviews were easy and questions were more on behavioral. After 3rd round of interview, there was no communications whatsoever despite multiple follow-ups. Literally ghosted me. Looks like they had candidate already selected and wanted to have additional interviews done from process/nos. perspective. I got a better job in a better organization, stay away from this organization if possible.
Thank you for sharing your comments. It is unfortunate to hear that you did not have the best interview experience. We will share your feedback with our teams and continue to find opportunities to enhance the candidate experience.

Interview
Initial phone screening with internal HR, then first interview was with project managers in the office including the senior project manager. Once past this stage I was scheduled for three further interviews with a range of directors including the hiring manager. The number of interviews was tough but if you are well prepared with your research done it’s fine.
