Engineering Manager Interview Experience - United Kingdom

October 16, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial screen with recruiter. 3x60m interviews with some recently promoted EMs. 1x60m scenario exercises with team members. 1x30m chat with CTO with some grilling on previous work situations.

After the last interviews I got an email telling me that "all the feedback I've read is very good". Then a few days after I was due to hear back I got a templated email telling me that they wouldn't be moving forward with an offer. I replied asking if there was any feedback but never got a response.

It's sad because 1) the actual interviewers were very likeable, smart people and 2) one email response with any semblance of feedback could have turned this around. Instead, I'm left feeling the same as the other EM interview reviewers below and not wanting to work for CircleCI in the future.
