Interview
Three rounds of panel interviews. It starts with an overview of the position you are applying for. You will be asked situational questions: "Tell me about a time where a project did not go as expected", "Tell me how you would run a project from start to finish", "Tell me how you have managed a difficult team." They want to know your thought process. They will also ask what you hope to achieve in the role. Finally you have an opportunity to ask the panel questions. If you pass the first panel they will schedule you to meet with another panel and if you make it past that panel you will get to the interview with the hiring manager. Similar format for each panel, questions vary a bit but are essentially "Tell me about a time..."
