Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
Terrible experience - After 1+ months of interview process - Got an email saying something in lines of - the team is restructuring this role and are no longer going to be hiring a manager
- 30 minute of recruiter call
- 45 minutes of hiring manager call
- 4+ hours of interviews with the team
- 3 follow up email to recruiters
I could see clear chaos when visiting the company HQ and also during the interview. How can you have the potential reports of a manager interview the manager himself (these employees constituted about 3/4th of the interview panel)
The campus location is confusing and very difficult to find the actual building. Coldest receptionist ever, almost felt rejected from the moment I walked in.
The employees talk about the great culture, but I did not see anything other than chaos
Questions
The interview consisted of just a bunch of usual manager level questions asked by engineers who would be the future reports of the manager :-)
