Software Development Manager Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

March 1, 2020

Process

I applied through Glassdoor and was contacted by a recruiter.

She was excellent. She described the position, and I described my experience. It was a great conversation.

We then proceeded to a second interview, not with the actual hiring manager (at least I don't think so) but with another development manager.

In that interview, the manager asked me inane behavioral questions.

At some point, I lost my calm with the interviewer. I guess that's why I failed that part of the interview.

I contacted the original recruiter and asked her if she could supply a different interviewer.

After a couple of days, she declined.

Questions

Question 1. "Have you ever been a manager before?"

The interviewer then read me questions from a prepared list. It was obvious he wasn't listening, but just typing my answers into his computer. He asked several questions more than once.

Was this helpful?
