Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Ireland
Process
The Yelp recruiters were so lovely in the first round. I made it to the second round of interviews with engineering managers from other teams. This stage was scheduled for 45 minutes, back-to-back, with five interviewers (separate). They all read from a script of questions, often repeating the same ones. Each interviewer rushed through their portion, stating there was no time for chit-chat. There were no greetings or warmth from any of them – yikes!
There was no goodbye or indication of next steps, as any well-practiced or good hiring team would do. It's simply good manners!
The whole interview process was not pleasant. You need to improve your interview stage. Remember, you are also being interviewed!

Success here can only be achieved as a group, so you better play well with others. Employees are truly fostered, and the work-life balance is amazing.Cons: Engineers who want to grow to Staff level and beyond will hit a ceiling. Expectations for those roles aren't unilateral across the company, and opportunities are scarce.

Collaborative work culture: no politics within Engineering. Working on a high visibility/popular consumer app.Cons: Too few sick days. Too few PTO days. No sizable corporate shutdowns during holidays. Poor 401k contribution. Don't pay top dollar; poor stock performance lately.
