Had a recruiter call and a first interview. Both were not that challenging but did not make it to the next round. Mostly questions about last experience and situational based questions. No case.
Recruiter screen was fairly easy. Asked about my experience, went over the job description and then next steps discussion. Moved forward - first round was nothing unexpected. Interviewers looked a little distracted.
I applied online. I interviewed at OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
The first interview was with the hiring manager, it felt more like a conversation rather than an interview. I gave an overview of my background and the HM asked questions based on my experience. A couple job specific questions were 1- tell me about a time that you had to manage conflicting priorities and 2- what do you think the most important skill a project manager should have
