Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Portugal, Portugal
Process
A recruiter reached out, and I completed a first recruiter screen with them. After that, there was a technical interview, a system design interview, an ops/leadership interview, and a live coding interview.
I struggled with the live coding interview at the end, but I never received feedback, so I can only speculate about the rest. I know I got great vibes from the ops/leadership interviewer, and the system design wasn't bad, though it wasn't perfect.
Please provide feedback. It's not like I didn't make it to the last round, so I should at least get something out of it.
Questions
System Design: Design a URL shortening service.
Examples of incident management. Dealing with reorgs. Misbehavior from engineers.

Employee benefits are good. The company ethos is very employee-centric. I was made redundant last year, and the whole process was really smooth, with many company-provided supports. Microsoft really feels like a company that values people.Cons: Work can be rather mundane, as a result of working in very large projects. This is really an issue with large companies in general, versus working in more dynamic smaller companies (of course, with the downside of less stability).
