Process

For line-level managers, the following interviews are conducted:

  • 1 coding interview (evaluated as Senior Engineer)
  • 2 system design interviews (evaluated as Senior Engineer; may be more front-end or quant-focused depending on background)
  • 1 general behavioral interview
  • 1 people management interview
  • 1 execution management interview

Each interview is 45 minutes long, with approximately 5 minutes preserved for your questions.

Each interview has a number of signal areas they are looking to evaluate, and a hire decision is not based on a score. Each interviewer will try to be objective and check for specific skillsets for the role.

At the end, all interviewers see all notes and vote on a decision (hire, no hire, or needs more signal). The result goes to a senior hiring committee and may include hiring manager champions to vouch for a candidate.

Example questions are provided in advance and are very reflective of actual interview questions.

Questions

Behavioral questions might include:

  • Give an example of helping someone overcome a performance issue.
  • Describe a project you were responsible for or led.
  • How did the project relate to business goals?
  • How did you plan the roadmap?
  • How did you respond when the schedule slipped?
  • What was the team you were most proud of, and why?
  • What are your responsibilities as a people manager?
