Big Data Engineering Manager Interview Experience
Process
The lead of a newly created division interviewed me. He seemed to be in a hurry.
No introduction, no smiles, just rapid-fire questions. And none of the questions were technical. His questions focused on:
- Management style
- Favorite kind of boss
- Bad bosses
- Opinions on hiring and firing
This led me to infer that the leader was full of hot air and clueless about big data.
When I asked him about his tech vision, he said it's just about hiring people and filling roles. What about the tech stack? The people we hire will decide that.
He even yawned a few times while I was answering. Essentially, I wasted my time on a clueless leader who doesn't respect people, at a low-paying company whose stock has dipped massively lately.
The icing on the cake was that they ghosted me afterward, confirming my impressions about Cloudflare.
