Technical Project Manager Interviews

Technical Project Manager Interview Questions

"When hiring a technical project manager, an employer will look for candidates with the management skills and industry knowledge to oversee company projects that require members to have large amounts of technical knowledge, usually in the form of programming and software development. Some of the interview questions you may be asked will target your management experience and philosophy while others will focus on your understanding of the technical processes you will be working with in the project."

Lots of questions that have an undertone of some of the things that make Google what it is, for instance, how would you build up the infrastructure for a search engine-where do you deploy servers and why? How would you identify keywords in search results? Etc. Try to understand how you'd do what Google already does is my advice and how'd you'd implement your own search engine. Although it's not a software engineer position, they expect you to know how to code. Make sure you know your syntax (whatever syntax you feel comfortable with). Brush up on algorithms, but no need to get fancy with your answer, just need something that works and is practical. Just remember, they will test you technically on software, which I found interesting considering the group I applied to it would've been more relevant to be tested on hardware knowledge, which I had zero questions about. If you've been a project manager before, a lot of the questions are pretty easy if you can relate the answers to real life scenarios. Didn't think it was particularly hard, though no job offer was extended.
