30,164 process engineer interview questions shared by candidates

They must have asked about 60 questions in 3 hours ( #2, #3 and #4 ) . Round #2 though was technical, the interviewer asked a lot of text book questions . These questions don't have standard answers because every organization is different and how they internally manage their processes is also different. Though he interviewed for almost 1 hours, it never felt like as if we are having a discussion rather i had a feeling he is deliberately trying to beat me by stopping my in between my sentences and asking cross question before i could even finish answering the previous question. he asked some ITIL questions e..g Service strategy, Availability management, Audit process, ISO 20,000 controls. Interview round #3 was by someone who believes " I am an HR and i know it all " She went through my resume and asked mostly technical stuff though i doubt she understood a bit of it. She kept nodding her head throughout with same expressions to all my answers. her questions were on my past companies, past roles, my area of expertise, my personal areas of comfort. some examples - What is IT governance, How metrics are collected and calculated. How It services are reviewed, a break up of my work experiences in individual ITIL areas e.g SS< SD< ST< SO etc. At the end, when i asked her to explain the roles and responsibilities of the profile they are hiring for, she could not explain it !!! Interview #4 by Mr CEO himself. A replica of #4 . I was expecting him to be interesting especially after the experience of round #3 but was disappointed once he started asking his questions and started writing stuff on my resume as if its a dictation session. After the questions he suddenly stood up and started to walk away. I had to ask him from behind" Errr Excuse Me X. shall i wait here or leave for the day " .
