Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Israel

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a Skype interview in which I was asked a few simple technical questions and probes into my background. The interview went well, but I hadn't heard back for a while.

I then mentioned I would be on vacation in Bangkok and could drop by for an on-site interview.

The day of the interview consisted of six one-hour meetings with different managers from different parts of the organization; some of them were executives.

Unfortunately, there was no structure and seemingly no planning for this process, as I was asked random questions about system design, management skills, and coding skills.

Two different interviewers asked me the same whiteboard question in different variations.

In total, I spent most of my time there with the whiteboard, a stressful situation and one that I wasn't prepared for because I was expecting to be interviewed more about my managerial skills and less about algorithms.

Besides that, I got the sense that some of the interviewers were eager to finish the process as soon as possible. I did not get the impression that these are people I'd want to work with.

I was scheduled for more on-site interviews the next day but canceled them, as I figured out Agoda is not a place I want to work at.

Needless to say, I didn't get any job offer.

This was a whiteboard question asked twice by two different people.
