Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience

June 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was very organized:

  • Interview with the recruiter
  • Interview with the architect
  • Technical case study

The first two interviews went well, but I choked on the third one. I was given three problems and asked to create a program in any language and upload it to Slack. I did that, but I feel it did not go well. I openly agree that I was busy and did not finish the code according to my standards, so I am not surprised that I failed. Well, it was a good experience.

Questions
