      Project Manager Interview

      13 Feb 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Shrewsbury, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ecobat (Shrewsbury, England) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      HR video call followed by second video call with 3 more people. 2 of those people then arrived late for the interview and 2 didn't turn on their video during the video call, which was odd. 1 person then accidentally sent his (blunt/rude) internal feedback about me to me. That feedback suggested that he hadn't properly read my CV or really been focussed on the interview - e.g. described me as having 'limited experience' (I have 14 years experience), described my education as 'adequate' (I have taught this topic at university level). His major issue though was apparently that I didn't have experience of the version of SAP that they use, despite that experience being advertised as optional on the job advert... Anyway, there was also no follow up to this cock-up, no apology, no ownership from him or HR, nothing. There were a few other examples that suggested the main interviewer wasn't on the ball - for example, when he said that their approach to project management was 'waterfall with a bit of Agile' - obviously those two methodologies are fundamentally mutually exclusive. The job spec also spoke about using Agile to 'deliver solution documentation' - when, obviously, a key principle of Agile is to limit documentation creation to a bare minimum. I got the impression that Agile was a buzzword they'd heard and were just throwing about without really understanding it. Anyway, in a final bizarre twist (despite the 'feedback' farce) they didn't immediately reject me, but kept me shortlisted while they interviewed other people,,,for another 3 weeks. So all in, about a 5-week process in total. In general, quite disorganised and disrespectful.

      Question 1

      This project has already sort of started. How would you come in and start working on that?
