Phone screen with hiring manager was a case interview. I don't do well on those and as expected it didn't go well. Imagine my surprise when they called me in for an in-person interview. I got a list of 3 people I would be speaking with the day before, including that same hiring manager, his manager (Senior Director) and another Director. When I got there, turns out I'd be speaking with 2 Manager (my presumptive peers in different groups) and the hiring manager.
The interviews with others went fine -- they asked about my experience, how I handled various situations in the past, etc. Standard stuff. The hiring manager launched into another case interview. Didn't go any better for me -- I don't do well with case interviews. He himself said he's looking for attributes that make a good PM: analytical, persuasion ability, some technical acumen, I forget what the 4th thing was. Clearly he's fixated on the analytical. It's OK -- not everyone clicks. Moving on. OK experience overall.

Interview
Auswendiglernen von Informationen und marktypischen Kennzahlen des zu betreuenden Accounts scheint das wichtigste Kriterium zu sein. Eigene Schluesselqualifikationen und Faehigkeiten spielen nur nebensaechlich eine Rolle was auch die Philosphie des Unternehmens widerspiegelt. Im Unternehmen kommt man nur weiter wenn man sich durch fragwuerdige Methoden in den Vordergrund spielt. Gute Leistung spricht hier leider nicht fuer sich selbst.
