Software Engineer Manager Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon
Process
The recruiter walked me through the whole process ahead of time. I had tons of material to review that talked about the process and what to expect in great detail, even with example questions.
I had:
- 2 phone screens
- 6 virtual interview loops (2 management, 1 behavioral, 1 coding, 2 system design)
Questions
Q. Management questions were about people skills.
Q. Behavioral questions were about conflict and working with others.
Q. Coding questions were about a simple ASCII to integer conversion.
Q. System design questions were very hard, focusing on detailed API and structures design.
