Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - New York, New York

January 1, 2024
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The process stretched over two months due to the holidays in December and my delaying the final round into January because of holiday travel.

The process involved a recruiter screen through a referral, followed by the first round which consisted of two interviews:

  • System Design (1 hour)
  • People Leadership (1 hour)

I received positive feedback the next day and scheduled the final round, which included four interviews:

  • Product
  • Delivery
  • System Design and Domain Knowledge
  • A Leadership chat with the Hiring Manager

Following that, there was a 30-minute chat with a senior leader of the division I was joining, which was more in-depth than I had expected.

Questions

I can't go over the specific questions, but the technical interviews change based on the position.

For the domain knowledge portion, be prepared to talk about a system you have built, what trade-offs you considered, and what you learned from that experience working with other engineers.

The leadership, product, and delivery interviews are fairly standard.

All interviewers left plenty of time for questions, and everyone was very respectful and open to sharing relevant information about the culture and tech.

Overall, the interviews were rigorous, but felt like I was meeting my future co-workers.
