Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Three interviews back to back to back, with the final one being with a manager. Started with a PO, then the lead engineer, then the product manager. Very casual experience, and everyone was very open about talking about the position and expectations.
Questions
Pretty generic engineering questions. Nothing out of the ordinary beyond the change management questions and agile/scrum process.

- 1.0Management Issues, Overworked EngineersEngineer • Current EmployeeRiverwoods, Illinois, United StatesMarch 7, 2023Pros: Not sure what is good here.Cons: Management can definitely be improved. Not all but a lot of them need to have their ears pulled. It appears that they demote engineers but protect the managers. I found myself asking why this 'marketing' person is an engineering manager. How did this happen? Well, with no technical foresight, it is the blind leading the blind. Overworked group. I had a co-worker pass away due to too much work.
