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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to manage conflicting priorities
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.
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.
