Program Manager Interview Questions

Les program managers (responsables de programmes) sont chargés de superviser plusieurs projets d’entreprise liés par un objectif commun. Les employeurs recherchent des candidats qui excellent dans la gestion des ressources humaines et la résolution de conflits. La personne faisant passer l’entretien souhaite connaître vos qualités de leader et votre capacité à mener plusieurs tâches de front. Soyez donc prêt à parler d’une situation dans laquelle vous avez su motiver un groupe afin qu’il respecte un délai imminent ou de toute expérience dans le règlement de problèmes entre collègues.

25,845 program manager interview questions shared by candidates

A vaguest ion that was asked in a very general way, but which the interviewer clearly had specific answers he was looking for: "what are four components that are included in every specification doc". That sounded a lot like a thing you would find at Microsoft and similar large companies where process is more strictly defined. I answered poorly, I think, perhaps because I haven't worked with that kind of spec in a very long time, and not on any projects that worked out well. Smaller orgs/programs/projects (startups and incubators, for example, where the outcome is always in flux, as I am accustomed to working with) can have poor specs, specs that are centered on marketing, planning documents that are made up of wireframes and time-based stage gates. In any case, I choked a bit, and the interview kind of skated around and became more specific as we went along. I don't think that is inappropriate, though, because Amazon does value and expect the ability to deal with ambiguity.
