      Lead Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in May 2021

      Interview

      Pre Screen with the recruiter for 30 mins, shared the details about company, project and team. Asked about my exp. After that there were 2 technical interviews, first with lead engineers and next with Hiring manager and Architect. After the interview I got the feedback that they like my exp but need more architectural knowledge for this position. They asked if I would like being considered for Sr Software Engineer instead. I was open for it, but then the recruiter ghosted me for a week. After a week I followed up only to be told that they had budget issues and positions have been closed. Overall, it was a decent experience and the interview isnt hard to crack. It's all about luck sometimes where you have brushed up on certain things or not.

      Question 1

      Mostly experience based, Cloud technology and design based questions. They are big on Docker containers, so read about that and be prepared to answer questions on that.
