Here are a few gems that I doubt were on the official questions list: 1. I know religious people go on missions trips. Are you going to be gone for months on end for a religious trip? 2. I knew a religious person once that was offended by something she heard. Are you going to be offended by things you hear if we hire you? 3. Our community is diverse, how do you see yourself given your background? 4. A series of odd and unclear comparisons with other religious people of varying backgrounds that assumed we were the same. I was not sure what they were trying to ask. 5. You do a lot of volunteer work, will you be able to work full time? 6. In the very last question, I was asked in the final interview, they asked me for protected medical information and appeared short when I voiced some ethical concerns related to a potential religious accommodation.

HR did not have any questions at all regarding my experience or qualifications to do the job but only focused on behavioral questions and how I would adapt to change. And HR was not able to answer my questions regarding the position but just said if selected to move on to the next interview I could ask those questions...left you not knowing much about next steps.

Cant share the details, but overall it's the same flow as every other TPM role interview. It sounded like the hiring manager was literally using interviews to generate ideas he can execute on or was lacking ability to resolve a situation.
