Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Pearson en may 2007
Entrevista
I was interviewed by a number of Pearson managers over a period of 2 months. The job offer was actually extended early in the interview process; however, negotiations took the full two months to complete. The position was specific, a customer who sought litigation yet was a key account for the company. The objective was to provide customer relationship support and program management experience to turn around the failing project and restore value to the customer and to Pearson. Pearson was completely up front in terms of the difficulty of the job. In turn, I also offered my goals for additional education opportunities and growth, which have since been honored by the company. Interviews ranged from HR, mostly to gather certain baseline information regarding salary and benefits, to other project managers, directors of operations, and the Vice President of Services. I felt that the interview process was thorough and included investigation of my previous employment experience and recommendations from external industry clients.

What are three critically important things you must do well as a project manager in order for the project to succeed?
The interview process was based on a single interview round where it was checked my knowledge of the company, my knowledge and skills in Project Management and how I would deal with certain scenarios.

Good — Short process, no homework or product sense. People are friendly. Softball interview questions.
Bad — POOR BALANCE: Must wake up early, early even for eastern time. POOR TIME MANAGEMENT: Interviewers were late and did not leave any time for my questions. LACK OF MORALS: Struggled to demonstrate that they “do the right thing”, plus many microaggressions. LACK OF DIVERSITY: Everyone who interviewed me was of the same gender and race.

"What is the role as you understand it? What experiences from your background align best with this role?”
On the face of it, this is a fine question. However, the tone in which the executive asked it was too direct. Asking this before my self-introduction, not even 30 seconds after meeting me was rude. It made me feel like a ‘resource’ or a piece of cattle. Not a human being.

I applied via the website and received an interview email two weeks later. Had an interview that lasted about 30 mins, and thought it went pretty well. Answered all the questions. But did not get the offer.
