Engineering Manager Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

November 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Worst experience I've ever had.

I talked to an internal recruiter about the role, and it seemed like a good fit. I was then set up to talk to the director.

When we got on the Zoom, it was clear this person did not want to talk to me at all, and that was before I had a chance to say anything. It's pretty clear when you can tell someone is trying not to have a conversation with you.

He talked about the reasons for the role and the group structure. I gave my standard introduction about myself, with no follow-up or conversation about anything I said. He ended the interview early. This person clearly had an attitude that he brought into the meeting with him.

The role is still open three months later.
