Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience

Process

I had a fairly normal phone screen that was pretty nice. The recruiter seemed very knowledgeable, which was refreshing.

However, the hiring manager interview afterward was rescheduled four times.

It eventually happened, and pretty quickly in the interview, it seemed they had reorganized the position I applied for. The position carried the same title but had vastly different expectations, which was jarringly out of line with the job description.

It didn't go well because I couldn't speak to what they asked.

A takeaway might be to take staff reviews at face value regarding pervasive reorgs and restructuring.
