The usual meetings included SRE team tech leads, peer managers, and the Hiring Director.

I had 7 interview blocks, each 45 minutes long, all conducted as 1:1s in a conference room.

They had recently moved into their new building, so I was given a tour. It was nice.

The interviewers had assigned modules, but many deviated from them to explore specific topics. This led to many duplicate questions.

How do you build a diverse team? (Most interviewers focused on this.)

Tell me about a time you had a challenging interaction with a manager from a different team. (Asked multiple ways by multiple people, but basically the same question/answer. Prepare multiple answers.)

Tell me about a time when you had a challenging employee interaction. (Same as the last question; have multiple scenarios for the same question.)

Whiteboard a system you worked on in as much detail as you can.

What would you say are your strengths and weaknesses?

What would your reports say is your management style?
