Very professional, on time and efficient. They have a few screening stages that needs to be passed. Even if they reject you, they would let you know as to why, unlike some companies that just leaves you hanging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Knowledge on my field than any paper qualifications
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Surge Global (Colombo, Western) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process spanned roughly three months and included five rounds:
1. Interview with a Senior Project Manager covering general PM questions.
2. A 4-hour take-home assignment based on a use case.
3. Interview with the CTO & COO
4. Interview with a Partner who oversees the PMO.
5. Final panel with the same Partner, the first interviewer, and a new PM.
After the fifth round, I received no updates for over two months despite multiple follow-ups to HR (calls, emails and messages were not answered). Eventually I received an automatically generated application rejection email with no feedback. The overall process required significant time with unclear timelines and poor communication after the final stage. It felt like a waste of time and reflected poorly on management. Overall, the experience felt impersonal and not candidate-centric.
