Interview
Applied online. The HR person sent me an email asking several questions such as why do you want to want to work for Smith Micro, etc. Next came a phone interview with the manager then a live interview with the manager and 2 others.
It was a straight forward interview with no trick questions.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Smith Micro in Jun 2009
Interview
Initial phone interview with the hiring manager went OK. However, onsite interview in Aliso Viejo with management was absolute disappointment.
I interviewed with couple of VPs -- was not impressed with their knowledge and attitude. Very derogatory.
I interviewed with couple of Sales and PM individuals -- they all seem very beat and tired of the entire situation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think the role of PM should be in the organization?
Apparently they were just trying to implement PM processes and practices and they were looking for me (an engineer) to help them define what product management should do.
