Engineering Manager Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Applied online and received an email from the recruiter.
I had a phone screen with the recruiter, which went well.
Following that, I had a phone screen with the hiring manager, which also went well.
An onsite interview was scheduled with multiple people.
However, I canceled because my situation changed and I could no longer relocate for the position.
Everyone I interacted with was awesome, from the recruiter to the recruiting coordinator to the hiring manager.
They were all friendly, seemed intelligent, and appeared to be pleasant to work with.
The role also sounded super interesting.
Personal circumstances made me withdraw, unfortunately.
I'm super bummed.
