Software Development Manager Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
Super smooth interview process.
My recruiter, Andy Ong, was very proactive, helpful, and courteous.
The HackerRank OA consisted of both coding and system design questions, followed by four onsite interviews with a mix of situational-based EM questions, system design, and coding.
This was followed by a Bar Raiser round, an interview by the Group VP, and chats with the CTO and CEO.
Questions
The managerial round was mostly EM 101 type, situational-based questions.
The system design was very specific to the Roblox system.
The Bar Raiser asked a non-technical question, looking for problem-solving skills.

- 2.0Tries to act like a big companySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Mateo, California, United StatesJune 21, 2024Pros: Generally, the pay is good. The office has decent perks.Cons: No real culture. Product is somewhat stale and growth is slowing. A lot of "yes" men/women in leadership positions. No diversity focus at all. CEO continually makes huge mistakes and doesn't own up to them. Most of his company speaks hinges on "historical context" of when he was an engineer (if I hear about how he was right for not building a "Flash" version, I am going to lose it). CEO and a lot of leadership are super involved in technical decisions, and most often are wrong about them. Challenging management will get you pushed out. No trust. Even the smallest conference or expense needs to be approved and scrutinized by your VP. RTO killed all trust.
- 4.0Growing Team, Top-down CultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Mateo, California, United StatesJanuary 28, 2024Pros: Lucky to be a part of a growing team.Cons: A top-down culture can be a negative.
