      Program Manager Interview

      28 May 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BBC (London, England)

      Interview

      The company put me through 7 rounds of interviews over several months with significant gaps between each stage. There was no clear communication about timeline, feedback, or what each round was meant to assess. It felt reactive rather than planned. The biggest frustration: after investing considerable time across all those interviews, I received a generic rejection email with no meaningful feedback or context. No phone call, no explanation of where I fell short, nothing that would help me understand the decision or learn from the experience. Positives: The interviewers themselves were professional when we did meet. Verdict: The company needs to get their hiring house in order. Too many rounds, too much dead time between them, and poor closing communication. Respect candidates' time by streamlining the process and being transparent about next steps.
