There are 6 interviews total, not including recruiter screen. These are divided into two rounds: Round 1 consists of 2 interviews, and Round 2 consists of 4 interviews (if you pass Round 1).

The themes for the first two interviews are "Experience and Goals" and "Strategy and Execution". These are 45-minute interviews that rely heavily on STAR-style narrative answers to "Tell me about a time..." type questions.

After Round 1, you are asked to complete a "written exercise." This exercise requires preparing both a report and a (supposedly optional) presentation. The content should cover a project you completed as a manager in the past that represents your work. You submit the report and then give an interactive presentation as one of the interviews.

The other three interviews in Round 2 are:

• System Design
• "People and Organization" – This interview primarily aims to gauge the organizational complexity you have experience operating within.
• Role Play Interview – In this interview, you role-play a manager, and an interviewer role-plays an engineer on your team.

System Design:

How would you create a reporting service that acts as a transaction balance/ledger based on transactions happening in an existing transaction service?

Management Role Play:

The scenario was to attempt to assign an urgent 12-week audit to a senior engineer who is excited to work on something else (a non-urgent refactor), and get them to delegate the refactor to others. Getting the engineer to agree to the assignment was not required.
