Process

The first interview was a phone call with the recruiter. We talked about the company, culture, and values. He also explained the interview process to me perfectly.

After that, I had a technical screening (coding exercise) with a senior software engineer from the team, who explained in detail what he was expecting from me.

The last step was on-site. They gave me the possibility to do it remotely, but I preferred to go to the office. I had several interviews that day, mainly focused on systems design, management, product, experience, and cultural fit. I had the opportunity to have lunch with some amazing Engineering Managers from other teams, who kindly explained how they were working.

I really enjoyed the process!

Questions

Behavioral and managing questions (How to solve conflicts, performances, 1on1s, etc.)

System design questions (Define an architecture to solve a specific problem)

Experience working remotely and managing distributed teams, and how to manage specific situations as a manager when you are working remotely, etc.

My experience working closely with the product team (scrum, roadmap definition, prioritization, bugs, etc.)
