Senior Project Manager Interview Questions

15,042 senior project manager interview questions shared by candidates

"One of the interviewers conducted a technical assessment, which I found to be less effective in evaluating critical skills. For instance, they asked questions that seemed to focus on memorization rather than assessing problem-solving abilities and practical decision-making skills. For instance, they asked 'How many days does it take for an ACH transaction to clear?' felt more geared toward rote knowledge rather than assessing the ability to prioritize and make on-the-spot decisions, which I believe are more important for the role. In future assessments, it might be beneficial to incorporate situational or scenario-based questions to better gauge candidates' practical problem-solving capabilities.

This was a challenge question for which I was asked to prepare a write-up & submit, before the interview: You’re the PM on a small cross- functional team at Instacart responsible for the Instacart mobile app our customers use. Our marketplace serves dense geographic areas in the US, but not all of them. Develop a consumer product that engages customers in markets where our current delivery product isn’t available now, and will not be available within the next 2 years either. Create a short document to share your vision for this product. Why should the company build this product? What high level features does it have? What does success look like? Explain your vision and how you will execute on it.
