Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon
Process
I applied online. The process took one week.
I didn't make it past the first interview. They use a third-party software to record you so the interviewer can focus on the candidate. In the first interview, the interviewer explained that she'd turn her camera off at some point because she wouldn't be looking at me anyway since she'd be taking notes on her other monitor, and I'd just be staring at her profile. She turned her camera off as she started to ask the very first question. I felt like they wanted a robot, not a human. What's the point of that third-party software if you're still not going to treat me as a human?
Questions
They asked me to tell them about myself and walk them through a time I had some experience, but it all blends together.

- 3.0So close...Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeBoston, MAMarch 3, 2025Pros: * really, really great ICs & EMs doing incredible work * interesting work * great product doing good in the worldCons: * People management processes are excessive, consume 3-4 months of the year, and are incredibly demotivating; standards are impossible to meet and out of touch with reality. * They don't address the real process issues - they aspire to be a mature organization, but when the pressure is on, they pretend they are a startup rather than implement change that would help a mature org operate efficiently.
- 5.0Supportive and challenging in the best wayEngineering Manager • Current EmployeePhoenix, AZJune 25, 2021Pros: Mission-driven that employees care about. Passionate senior leadership with the right level of involvement. Interesting and challenging technical projects. Supportive and friendly coworkers. Extremely flexible work environment. Great benefits especially healthcare.Cons: As a Canadian company, salary is a little low for US-based employees (but not by much and employer is working to make it more competitive with US market). DE&I initiatives are underway but lots of room to improve still.
- 5.0Exciting opportunities with bright engineers and strong documentationEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeJuly 13, 2026Pros: - Amazing security thesis - Very bright engineers - Culture of comprehensive and living documentation - Exciting market opportunities - Remote first companyCons: - Home office stipend is ongoing rather than one time; It would be great to get the stipend once to buy a big important purchase (chair or desk), and it would save the company money in the long run.
