      Sr Program Manager Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk in Jan 2022

      Interview

      1. 30 minute phone screen with recruiter 2. 1 hour zoom interview with the hiring manager 3. 30 minute meeting with another recruiter 4. A 4 hour zoom session with 4 separate interviewers. The last interview was a presentation of an original program plan prepared to review for the interview. Checked in with the recruiter and was told she would reach out to me the next day with a decision. I have not heard back. Two weeks after the final interview, I received an automated email stating the job posting was closed. Given I spent 6 hours in interviews plus was required to put together a program plan and presentation, this was a time commitment. A direct response with a decision one way or the other would have been professional.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zendesk (Portland, OR) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The recruiters are very personable, and what I love about Zendesk is that they are very open from the beginning about salary ranges. I would say that you can expect to interview with 5 different people in the final round. I will be interviewing with them again.

      Question 1

      What is your super power? Describe a situation in which you had to gain buy-in? How do you measure success?
