Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I had two rounds of interviews for a software engineering manager position.
First, there was a 45-minute 1:1 with a VP. This was followed by a full day of interviews, totaling six hours, with seven different people.
An engineer was also part of the interview process and asked questions about linked lists.
The managers I spoke with were great. The big exception was the HR representative. He never got back to me and has not responded to several emails.
Considering I spent seven hours with these people, a basic level of response would have been appreciated.
Questions
Code a thread-safe linked list in a multiprocessor environment.
This is unexpected for an experienced engineering manager interview.
