Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Prudential (Newark, NJ) em set. de 2018
Entrevista
Prudential can be a slow moving company. The process for me was a recruiter discussion on the phone to validate I am a good candidate. Then I met with the hiring manager, the VP, and 2 other managers on the team. This was about 2 weeks after the recruiter call. That meeting went well where I was called within 3 hours to come back and meet with the business stakeholders. The business stakeholder interviews happened about 2 weeks after the manager interview. IMO they went well.
3 weeks after the stakeholder interview I was informed that I was no longer being considered and they were continuing to interview. It may have been a line since they decided against me, they may have internal candidates, or maybe they really are taking their time to fid the perfect candidate.
Prudential is a desired employer in NJ as they provide:
- free parking or transit allowance
- 4% 401k match
- defined contribution pension plan between 5-14% based on age and years experience
- subsidized cafeteria
- onsite subsidized gym

Entrevista
Went through multiple rounds of interviews and then received an automated email letting me know I did not get the role. I followed up to thank the team for their time and asked for feedback, but never received a response. Recruiter was very responsive during the interview process until I received a notice that I was not selected. The lest they could have done was send a simple email letting me know personally, and why.

Pergunta 1
What is your background? What is your PM experience? How do you deal with conflict? How do you manage multiple priorities? What is your biggest work pet peeve?
A truly candidate-first interview process and experience. Every step was focused on making sure the candidate was well informed, prepared, and was provided full transparency into expectations. This was a unique interview process compared to most technology jobs I applied for; where in most cases the interviews serve to inform the company on the candidates suitability for the role. However, at Assurance I felt as though it was an even playing field and encouraged to ask questions to find a culture and company fit just as much as they were trying to find a fit for the position.

Very lengthy process. 30 min recruiter call, 30 min call with a director, a take home case study that requires around 6 hours to complete, then followed by a series of 1:1s with a group of people this role you will be interacting with, including the hiring manager.
The case study was poorly constructed, and they refuse to provide clear answers to the clarifying questions. It was also extremely unfair for them to ask candidates to put in so much free work and take days off from their current job to interview with them.
During the series of 1:1 interviews, several interviewers cut me off when I was talking to ask questions, which seems very rude and left a bad taste in my mouth. After spending so long interviewing with them, the HR person didn't provide a timeline for when they will make a decision.
I was eventually told that they gave the job to someone else. I guess the feeling was mutual. I wouldn't have wanted to work with most of the people I interviewed with anyway.
