Director Engineering Interview Experience - Cambridge, Massachusetts

March 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The interview process consisted of being able to meet peers, superiors, direct reports, and business partners. They did a good job creating variety in who I would speak with, and collectively they allowed me to see insight into how the organization worked.

The interview process took an extremely long time (many, many weeks), which ultimately led me to accepting an offer elsewhere. Their pay was fair (even with what I accepted elsewhere), but I just had concerns about how efficient the organization was given the extremely long delay in hiring.

Questions

The interview questions were typical of a senior engineering position, quite a bit about decision making, development methodology, leadership style, and my direct knowledge of the tech I’d be leading.

The style was similar to what I was asked at other questions, focusing largely on giving examples of situations I’d been in previously.
