Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
The interview process began with a screening interview, followed by a cultural fit interview conducted in parallel with a case interview. Later, a technical interview focused on system design was added. This was followed by meetings with other L4/L5 team members, and an offer was extended after a few weeks. The interviews felt rushed, and I had the impression that interviewers were checking boxes rather than trying to establish a meaningful connection.
