Engineering Manager Interview Experience
Process
Very positive experience. I had a few rounds of interviews: first with a recruiter, then the hiring manager, then two panel-type interviews with Product/Program managers as well as peers.
My interviews felt more like a working session and made me feel comfortable, which made it easier to communicate with my interviewers.
Questions
Experience with open-source software. Experience with distributed teams.
