I applied through other source. I interviewed at PTC (Unterschleißheim) in Jul 2017
Interview
Angeschrieben vom Recruitment per Mail wurde Interesse bekundigt. Daraufhin 2 Telefongespräche mit dem Recruitment, nach einer Woche ein weiteres mit dem Marketing Manager. Termin war mir eher unpassend, aber der Manager ging daraufhin 2 Wochen in den Urlaub. Daraufhin folgte Einladung nach Unterschleißheim (2 Wochen bevor das Praktikum starten sollte), dem Bewerber hat man kaum Interesse entgegengebracht, trotz weiter Anreise. Nach dem Bewerbungsgespräch mit dem Marketing Director wurde man auf nächste Woche vertröstet (Den folgenden Dienstag hätte das Praktikum starten sollen). Selbst nach einem weiteren Anruf kam auch am Freitag keine Rückmeldung. Montags dann die Aussage, man hätte Probleme mit dem Finance Department. Einen Tag vor Beginn. Naja.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PTC (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2017
Interview
Initial screening call, followed by a phone interview and then a group interview. I believe there would have been further rounds beyond this. The role description I applied for did not actually match up with the position as it was described to me during the interview process. Teams in Dublin appear more focused on Dev Ops Cloud deployments and internal integration services - so not working on any core PTC product. The actual role seemed to be as much a development position as a Product Owner one. Despite clarifying that it was not a developer role I was still asked a number of technical programming questions. Overall though, people seemed very nice and friendly and as it is a small office there would be an opportunity to make a big impact.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What percentage of time would you spend on the business facing side of the role and could I further break down my answer into percentages I would spend on the different activities?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PTC (Needham, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Fair and engaging. A lot of behavioral questions. Got to meet with different people from various teams and positions. Team work is valued in the process and personal brand/presentation skills too
