Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - California, Maryland
Process
My first call was with the recruiter from Capital One.
He talked for 50 minutes non-stop about Capital One, boasting of his own expertise in recruitment and how he can tell about a person just by glancing at a resume.
I think some level of humbleness is a must for a recruiter, and they must also allow the other party to speak.
