Engineering Manager Interview Experience

Process

The interview process was okay.

I applied directly on Facebook's site. Within a few weeks, I was contacted via email to speak with a recruiter. After speaking with them, I was contacted by the hiring manager for an "exploratory call" – this seemed geared towards making sure I was a personal fit.

After a week or so, I was contacted about participating in a technical interview. For this, I didn't know what to expect, but I was clearly unprepared. There were questions that were over my head and about topics I had little to no experience in. This was not Facebook's fault; they are just on a much different level than I am.

Questions

Most of the questions I was asked were around deeper troubleshooting of Linux servers than I have experience with.
