Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience

February 1, 2016

Process

I applied online and was contacted by HR.

After an initial discussion with HR, I was sent an online coding problem to solve. Once that was completed, HR set up an interview with an Engineering Manager.

What was odd is that one interviewer was from mobile engineering, while I applied for web development. Consequently, he answered very little of my technical queries.

Questions asked included:

  • General background questions
  • Why I wanted to make the change
  • Behavioral questions
  • A collaborative coding challenge

I personally felt confident after the interview; however, HR never contacted me afterward, which can only mean one thing.

My negative experience stems from how HR ended the process. There was no response, even to my follow-up emails. This total ignorance is very unprofessional.

It does not take long to respond with a simple 'thank you, but no thank you.'
