Program Manager Interview Questions

“After the 2nd interview they asked me to email them back later that day with some answers to their questions. It gave me time to think about it, but it was a new twist to the standard interview…”

“Unexpected questions were more like what will you change in Microsoft if you were the CEO and why?
What you dont like about Microsoft?”

“Tell me about a time where you had to make an ethical decision.”

“nothing really. They are just looking to see how open you are.
Most of the interviewers are not really qualified.”

“Asked about scenario's in terms of tests failing in production and how to handle it with lots of revenue on the line and also how to communicate to team and to senior executives about the issue.”

“Why do you want to work in an agency?”

“I didn't know the answer to what I thought defined marketing...”

“Describe a challenge you had while in a leadership position”

“What is your biggest weakness. I hate that question. It's always difficult to answer but I was honest with the interviewer and the question and my answer led to some very good discussion.”
