Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process for me was:

  • HR talk
  • Preliminary tests: simple code challenges + logical pattern finding.
  • Technical interview that included both programming questions & team building/project handling.
  • Cultural fit interview (in-between cultural fit to Engineering manager interview)
  • Feedback session was my last stage.

I think overall they have a very nice recruitment process (even though the IQ test seems redundant to me). All the people that interviewed me were nice, respectable, and friendly. The feedback session, in the end, is also greatly appreciated and helpful.

Tips for future candidates:

  • The logical pattern test is much easier if you take the time and use their practice material.
  • They take their company values seriously. Answers that exemplify a contradicting value, even if valid and even if you have a flexible approach, might impact the interview negatively.

Questions

It's not cool to share questions.

Focus on:

  • Technical implementation of small-scale computer science questions.
  • Ways of working in a team, top to bottom.
  • Product creation process, from scratch to production.
  • Standard Engineering Manager questions.
