Process

After interviewing with the recruiter and a senior manager, I was scheduled for the full/final interview.

The interview was around 4 hours with 4 separate interviewers.

The first was with the director or VP of engineering and was very laid-back, with basic managerial interview questions.

The second interview was with one of the other managers at the same level as I was applying for. This interview was my only complaint. Perhaps the interviewer's perspective was different, but it seemed he was not nearly as technical and did not understand a lot of my answers. Overall, that "complaint" probably only pertains to that individual, but he was not very familiar with a lot of the newer technologies I was referencing, and I think it affected the overall process.

The third interview was with some of the senior developers. They presented a chat app design and asked several questions about how I would architect the code, like how I would break things down into components based on different scenarios and such.

The final interview was with the senior manager I talked with originally and was more of the same type of questions from the director's interview: basic managerial stuff, "talk about a time you had to fire or discipline someone," and other standard experience questions.

Questions

During the technical part of the interview, I was asked to explain how I would break down a chat app design into components. Then, I was given several other scenarios and asked how that would change the design.
