Technical Program Manager Interview Experience

The process felt pretty unstructured and luck-based because interviewers seemed to make questions up in real time off my answers. I went through an HR screen, then a hiring manager round, then a final loop with three TPM peers from the same group. What stood out was that the final panel was not a cross-functional loop at all. It was basically the team itself, and the three peers were also managers under the hiring manager. The interviews were heavily behavioral, but they kept weaving in product knowledge, customer scenarios, ambiguity, and some light technical troubleshooting around Nvidia's domain. I did not get the offer, and one weird part was that after about a month of ghosting, recruiting came back just to add an extra peer round, then disappeared again.
