Engineering Manager Interview Experience

Process

The process took three weeks.

First, I had a recruiter call. Then I had an interview with the hiring manager. Then I moved on to the next step, which was three interviews, including:

  • A programming session
  • A system design session
  • A project overview session

All of the interviews were easy, and in my opinion, I did a good job with them. I answered all of the questions, technical or non-technical. I really didn't understand why I got rejected, but to be honest, I'm happy because throughout the interviews, I really didn't like the culture of the company.

In general, the people interviewing me weren't very prepared. Since most of them joined very recently, they weren't able to answer some of my questions related to the organizational culture, PR process, and more. I should mention that all of them were polite and respectful.

Questions

  • LeetCode-like question for the code session.
  • Questions about project planning.
  • Questions about diversity and inclusion.
  • Questions about stakeholder management.

The system design session was very weird because they asked some simple and general questions and finished earlier. One of them didn't ask even one question!
