Engineering Manager Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
- Extensive call with recruiting detailing the process and interview types:
- 30-minute phone screen with the hiring manager
- First round coding interview
- Last round behavioral and system design interview
The recruiting team provided great and timely updates as the process progressed. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide any information on why I didn't work out in the loop. Another tricky aspect I was told is that given their question bank for interview loops, I can never again interview at Duolingo for any technical position. So, give it all you've got!
