This was a new position for the company, so it was difficult for the interviewers in terms of relying on standard interview subject matter and questions. The position is a coordination-heavy role nested in the Fed TAM Pod, which is an organization that has a technical/engineering focus. The one major question I received from all (paraphrased here) was "What is the role of a Project Manager, and how do your actions and input relate to the rest of the company?"
Interviews were not very structured - one manager talked a lot about himself and his own experience (I could barely get a word in sideways) and was very friendly, the other was very unfriendly and seemed to fancy himself as some type of stoic which wasn't very impressive. They mainly just talked a lot and gave me a mix of behavioral and just a few technical scenarios - they didn't do a full tech screen or really dive into my technical background. It felt like a good cop, bad cop situation. The stoic manager seemed to have it out for me right from the beginning and wouldn't even give me to time to answer some questions. He was not a pleasant person and I got a bad vibe from him almost immediately.
