      Senior Software Engineering Manager Interview

      Mar 2, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      I was a passive candidate contacted by one the hiring manager via LinkedIn. The conversation was very pleasant an he wanted me to come in onsite. Onsite interview was with 2 people higher up in the engineering chain. The questions were weird HR cobbled together questions. One of the interviewers was very arrogant. It was plain they didn't want someone with more than 2 years of management experience. Very negative experience. On arrival, the first interviewer (high in the eng. management chain) greeting me was shaking hands with me but talking to some good looking women that he found (very) interesting . Quite unprofessional. This is an arrogant company looking for like minded people. I wouldn't want to work there for a billion bucks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      No technical questions. What is a characteristic manager? What are the characteristic of a bad manager? Who was you best manager? Who was you work manager? Tell me about a time you failed. A lot more of this weirdness.... which IMHO gives no indication of how I can manage an engineering team.
