They start with a phone screen with their recruiter, but they are opaque about the role and compensation. Then, you are passed on to two phone interviews that roughly check for product sense and execution skills.

How would you measure success for OpenAI? What if instrumentation went down?
Recruiter screen was fairly easy. Asked about my experience, went over the job description and then next steps discussion. Moved forward - first round was nothing unexpected. Interviewers looked a little distracted.
Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) en abr 2026
Entrevista
The first interview was with the hiring manager, it felt more like a conversation rather than an interview. I gave an overview of my background and the HM asked questions based on my experience. A couple job specific questions were 1- tell me about a time that you had to manage conflicting priorities and 2- what do you think the most important skill a project manager should have

Tell me about a time that you had to manage conflicting priorities
Had a recruiter call and a first interview. Both were not that challenging but did not make it to the next round. Mostly questions about last experience and situational based questions. No case.
