      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DAI

      Interview

      Senior Project Manager Interview

      31 Aug 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DAI (London, England) in July 2022

      Interview

      Two rounds of interviews, both 1 hour long, 2 weeks apart from each other then result the following week. Both interviews went really well and the people seemed genuine and interested - I took time out of my holiday for the second interview as the position was a really good fit and I was keen for the role. The first interview was with the Head of Programme and a Senior Project Manager, and the second was with the same Senior Project Manager and his colleague of the same role. However, a few days after the second interview I recieved an offer from the HR recruiter offering me a Junior Project Manager role as this is what DAI had assessed my skills as, even though the Junior Project Manager role was a role I was doing at another organisation 2 years ago with a 15k pay cut, and at no point in the process was the possibility of another role mentioned that wasn't the Senior Project Manager, not in the interviews or the invite to interviews - all listed SPM as the role. Apparently my salary expectations were too high, even though they were commensurate with the SPM role and its advertised salary banding. Communication was shockingly bad as the recruiter could not explain why this was the case, and I was ignored and ghosted by both recruiters I'd been speaking to once the hiring manager had been in touch to confirm the junior offer. They wasted my time completely and refused to answer my questions as to what had gone wrong, so apply here with caution as DAI doesn't seem to have any value on interviewees' time or value their potential staff correctly.
