Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Planisware (Denver, CO) en ene 2019
Entrevista
I wasn’t offered a position and I’m happy about it because to be honest by the time I left the interview I had already decided it was a firm NO from me. I’m not bitter about it, the experience was superficially pleasant enough and there were a lot of good things about the company but the glaring negatives were too much to concede to.
Pros
The company benefits are above and beyond stellar, it’s a mid sized company with an impressive client list. The location is pretty great, really close to Union Station. The workers are superficially kind enough and it’s a very young workforce.
Cons
The Denver office is literally all white men and one white woman: POC, straight up, it’s unwelcoming- fair warning. It was a whole Get Out moment. They put on a nice show at first but steadily throughout the day the thinly veiled micro aggressions made the alarms start sounding off. POC: It’s the kind of culture that will end up stressing out your life in the long run, especially if you’re a WOC.
Advice to Management
You need to stop using the excuse of fitting in with your “culture” as a way to blatantly comb out diversity and maintain your white male homogeneous haven.

The first phase consists of answer some problems in an Excel workbook, where you create Work and Resource Breakdown Structures, typical PM work. The second phase is a video conference where they ask typical interview questions but also make you do a coding test. The third phase is a whole day interview at their Denver office, first thing you have to do is pass a coding test (JavaScript), then you have to answer business analysis questions, essentially, then you have to give a presentation on a technical topic of your choice, they take you out to lunch, then they give you a sales pitch that they call a demo, then you interview with the office manager and the whole time he’s having if you “fit the culture”.
Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Planisware en mar 2022
Entrevista
My interview process went as follows:
1. 30-minute screening call with recruiter
2. 1-hour call with a current consultant involving JavaScript function reading and a brain teaser
3. 2 30-minute calls with directors of consulting
4. 1 15-minute technical presentation with 15 minutes left over for Q&A
5. 1 30-minute call with the vp of consulting
I received positive feedback for my technical and presentation skills. However, there is a greater emphasis on whether or not you'd fit in the company culture and whether or not you're someone who just tells them what they want to hear about the culture. The actual consultants were straightforward about their job (which I liked) while the directors seemed to think their jobs and the ~company perks~ were more important than they really were (which I did not like).
Overall, I think it was a lot of time and effort invested for the generic rejection email that I received and for the salary range that was being offered.
