I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Interview conducted by panel - overall experience was disappointing. The team stared at me and waited for the manager to ask questions then wrote things down and tried to act engaged. They were nice but did not have any questions which made me wonder what they were looking for - it was really that they were seeking the right personality more so than the right skills which I later learned.

First screening was by HR, then had a panel style interview with a variety of different areas, next I was able to reconnect with the products that interested me. Finally, got offers from two different products areas.

Question 1
Given you managed a product with a budget, provide an example of a time where you’ve gone over that budget and how did you manage expectations with stakeholders and leadership.
It was very straightforward and your usual PM questions about data analysis, priorities, and your goals. I had 3 rounds of interviews, mostly behavioral questions. Understand what the role is and how you can contribute.
