The process started out with a Skype video interview with the PMO Director. He asked me a few simple background questions about my experience and wanted to know why I was looking for a new job. He asked me about my experience with agile project management, and ran through several project scenarios asking me how I would react. I am relatively new to agile, so some of the questions were difficult for me. After this, I asked several questions about the position and the company. The interview took about 45 minutes. I was invited to their office for a release planning workshop. I walked into a room that had post-it notes all over the wall. They handed me instructions and background for the workshop, and then gave me 30 minutes to prepare a release plan. It was a pretty daunting task because 30 minutes really isn't enough time to read through the content and plan a presentation. You were allowed to use the materials in the room to help you present. I was then asked to present my example scenario release plan, and they asked questions about my approach, timescales, resources, cost, etc. They expected me to have knowledge around budgets and release schedules, which I didn't, so I struggled when they asked questions about the release math. Afterwards, I was able to talk to another Product Owner to see what it's like to work at the company, and they showed me around the office. The whole workshop process took about two hours.

First introductory phonecall, straightforward, pleasant Next, in-person test to show how I would set up an agile sprint for a fictional product. Very difficult, confusing and illogical test, I failed miserably but don't see how it was a suitable test to identify good candidates. Made little sense. Company is obsessed with agile but didn't seem to be using an accurate version of it. Interviewers very smug and not too polite. Happy not to get an offer.
