DigitalOcean Senior Technical Program Manager interview questions

The recruiting team was very attentive throughout the interviewing process. There was an initial interview with the recruiter and 4 rounds with the hiring manager and respective peers. The interviews were very engaging and questions were generally situational. They were focused on my past experience, culture fit and future aspirations. Some of the topics included cross-functional engagement, conflict resolution, handling tradeoffs, technical program sense, influencing without authority and handling failures/setbacks. They were transparent with their responses when asked about the various challenges they face within their organization and how this role would help them succeed. The recruiting team was very accommodating with the understanding that I had another offer in hand. They were able to put an offer on the table and kept up with subsequent conversations in a timely fashion until it was signed off. It was a positive experience overall.
