Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I exchanged a few emails and phone calls with a recruiter and was invited to campus a couple weeks later.
I was told that even managers are asked technical questions (which made sense, and I agreed).
I completed two one-hour interview slots: one in person and the other online, separated by a week. A week later, I was informed that I was not a fit.
Questions
Questions were typical CS problems that fresh grads would solve (dismissing 90% of my career).
Think data structures: variations of sorting arrays or modifying binary trees.
