DevOps Engineering Manager Interview Experience - New York, New York

February 1, 2019

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It was a standard several groups of people from the different departments kind of interview. They gave a bit of orientation about the company and then each group asked questions centered around the work that they do. None of the questions really delved into anything too difficult.

But, this was for a management position. So, it did not get too deep into the technical side. The one frustrating part was getting no feedback on what I could improve after the process was over. It was disappointing to put so much time into interviewing to not get any feedback at all in the end.

Questions

They asked about my experience and work history.

Pros: Good snacks, competitive pay and ok product

Cons: Mid level sales managers have as much experience as Donald Trump. Managers are all talk, and can never actually do the job themselves. The CEO who is the former CTO is one of the most arrogant geeks you will ever meet. He talks down on everyone who can't code, because he thinks that is what makes him smart, while he has zero people skills and knows nothing about life outside java script. This company is going nowhere no matter what they think. The marketing team does an ok job now after years of being paid to do nothing. Engineers continue to believe their managers about what they are building, but are clueless that these are dumb features that everyone has.

Pros: * Truly inspiring lunch vendors * Very transparent all hands, managers, and overall company culture * Took a while to become agile, but the engineering management took many employees' advice to heart and took it on. Very streamlined and easy to get things done. * You're given LOADS of time to work on personal projects through hackdays and general technical leadership

Cons: * A pretty high profile departure from our culture/outings leadership has left a noticeable void. The new folks are trying, but have some big shoes to fill! * Lots of new faces at the company but seemingly less ways to mingle with them. See the above point.
