Engineering Manager Interview Experience - London, England
Process
Recruiter call, followed by a manager interview, architecture and system design, product, interview with the CTO, and finally a presentation. You are given a use case from the business and have to make a presentation with your solution/proposals.
The interviews are good and challenging enough, but the whole process drags on for too long, with a two to three weeks wait between some of the rounds. I made it to the last round, but still have not received any feedback. It has been one year now, so probably I did not get the job...
The lack of feedback is really annoying.
