First port of call was a telephone interview with one of the programme directors/leads which then lead to arranging a face to face interview. The face to face process was a 2 hour session, first hour was with what I believe more senior members of the programme and then what was described to me as the "technical guys" as the second part of the interview. I had already discussed at length with the recruiter who contacted me for the role and the Programme Director (on the telephone interview), that I was concerned the job was mixing 2 roles, a Project Manager and a Scrum Master, I made it very clear which role I fall into and was assured on multiple occasions that this was definitely a role for a ScrumMaster and not a Project Manager, for which I have no interest. 1 hour 45 minutes into the interview, I am asked how I feel about managing a budget and dealing with stakeholders at the board level. A bit taken aback by this question as I have been through this several times, I find out in the last 15 minutes of the interview that they are actually looking for a Senior Project Manager that has some Agile skills (my interpretation) and the ScrumMaster element literally refers to facilitating ceremonies. Needless to say we are not the right fit for each other at this time. This could have been avoided by all parties (the 5 people and HR understanding and forming a clear goal of what they are hiring for). I was even assured after the interview that they were hiring a ScrumMaster and not a Project Manager (turns out that wasn't the case either). The people who interviewed me were very friendly and honest, they made me feel extremely welcome and appeared very knowledgeable. I would have had no doubts about the culture and work environment I would have walked into would have been an enjoyable one. I wish them the best of luck with their search, however you'll put a lot of genuine "agile" folks off if you continue to confuse roles, "because that's how we've set up our organisation, the job title has to fit somewhere". Overall - nice people, nice atmosphere, wrong job spec.
