Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - United States

March 12, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process is lengthy, and I can appreciate that these aren't just LeetCode tech interviews but are designed to better determine a candidate's skills.

However, I was applying for a people manager position and was recruited for a backend team, despite my resume clearly identifying my experience on frontend teams in the past.

Regardless, I was advised to proceed since I had management experience.

I made it through the Power Day, and my feedback was that while my management skills were strong, I lacked experience in the backend systems they were looking at.

Understood, I just wish that had been communicated more broadly or that the interview could have counted towards a frontend team as well.
