I applied online. I interviewed at 383 in May 2023
Interview
1st stage screener was with recruitment which was done via Zoom. It seemed fairly standard as a PM interview but they spiced it up with some tricky questions that I was taken aback by. What I hated was the feedback cause I was told I came across great but they said they needed someone with more experience. This itself falls on its face as an argument when the senior PM role is being advertised below market rate for someone in a similar role

Interview
Sent email, had a 30 min interview with HR then scheduled in for a 90 minute interview with hiring manager and that was the beginning of the end for me. hiring manager was clearly bored looking/ working on emails during the interview and didnt ask any questions. maybe a decision had already been made. Anyways was a waste of my time. terrible organization.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at 383 (Birmingham, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Initial screening call with the Operations Director this was around 30 minutes and I was asked questions about my experience to date, why I was interested in the role and 383 and salary requirements/ notice period. When I was successful at this stage I was moved to an onsite interview which involved a presentation. I was set a task to answer with three sections, around how I would deliver on the role requirements, about my passions / hobbies and what charity I would like my employer to help me support and what resources I would pull on to deliver value to this charity. After that I was then given a more in depth interview which they call top grading, this is well studied and tested method of asking repetitive questions around previous experience, these were easy to answer and I didn't feel they were 'trick' questions. Once I was successful at this stage I then came to the final hurdle the Meet founder the founder stage. This was a lot more relaxed than I was expecting and gave me a real insight into the founders passion for his organisation and in particular it's benefits and culture to ensure employee satisfaction.
