      Senior Engineering Program Manager Interview

      May 9, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      For Cloud Data team 1 phone screen with recruiter (resume, background review and alignment to job) 1 phone screen with hiring manager 1 onsite, 4 rounds 45min each, focused on different themes (TPM skills, Technical skills, Stakeholder+Cultural fit, Manager Interview) About 1 week turn around time at each step. Onsite was well planned. Recruiter was very responsive and engaged over email. Did receive post interview rejection reply in time (dint leave me dangling) and with some high level feedback. Results were a shock since I thought I had the interview in the bag, but turns out one person on the panel can derail it all. I was dinged on technical experience, when possibly the two technical people on my panel were not networking folks, so possibly dint grasp all the data structure choices, protocol decisions I used in my discussion and one of them thought I lacked networking knowledge (after 11 years in networking field as hardcore routing/switching development and EPM on projects in same domain). But no grudges, on to the next opportunity. Overall, great folks I interacted with, and it left a positive impression about their process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Phone Screens (with recruiter & Hiring manger): Background & resume focused questions. Explain how you handle a project start to end, cross functional engagement, communication across timezones. Why are you moving out, why Sony, why this position. Onsite: TPM skills and Technical skill themed rounds were focused on: Explain one technical project (as an engineer or EPM) with technical details (and then get into technical details as we got into depths). How will you design a PS network across the globe and target low latency. Stakeholder, Cultural fit & Manager interview were focused on: How would you communicate to audience across functional and geographical location (techniques & approaches of communication). How do you cross functionally engaged teams. How do you lead by influence, manage conflict, manage priority changes and conflicts How do you motivate your team. What are your 3 strong skillsets and one that you would improve on.
