Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Landed interview with friend's referral.
Waived phone interview and called me for an on-site interview.
Basic programming and algorithm questions. I read CLR and Bentley's "Programming Pearls" books.
Interviewers followed a formula and used little imagination. They wanted to know little about the applicant's background. There was no sense of the manager or group I would work with.
Questions
