Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience

January 29, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral.

The initial screening consisted of two interviews: a behavioral round focused on my management strategy and a coding round that emphasized my approach to problem-solving. While I didn't move forward beyond the screening stage, the experience provided useful insights into expectations for the role.

Questions

Can you walk me through the process of creating a career development plan for a team member? How do you ensure it is aligned with both their individual goals and the needs of the team or company?
