Engineering Manager Interview Questions

8,513 engineering manager interview questions shared by candidates

Everything was going positive and I cleared all the rounds with good feedback. Now, when the time came to discuss the salary expectations, it was as usual where HR asked me about my current salary documents etc etc. After that, the HR never contacted me for 1.5 weeks and it was me following them about the status of offer. After so much of pain I took to contact the HR, finally the HR replied that they didn't get the approval for Salary from the CTO. The funny part is, the CTO took my interview and he had good reviews about my interview and he himself is not willing to approve the Salary expectation as it's going out of there budget. Point is, they wasted a lot of time and energy and at the end of the day they rejected for a reason that should be discussed up front before the interview process started. Some feedback for SendInBlue -> Be clear on the salary part especially about your budget before you indulge any candidate in the interview process. -> Be professional, and communicate with the candidate about the status of his candidature.

The interview generally was a "give and take" information sharing (Intel info and my background info). There were no surprise or complex questions. They were more concerned with my specific background, and how it could be applied to their current need. Of course, there was at least the "what's your biggest weakness" question, but that was the only question that could possibly be considered "different" - but certainly not difficult or unexpected.

I had one of the worst interview experiences of my career. The hiring manager exhibited unprofessional behavior, akin to that of a bully. It was evident that he was not genuinely interested in hiring. His demeanor was difficult, and he repeatedly asked the same questions, demonstrating a lack of respect for prospective employees and clear tendencies towards micromanagement. I would not recommend working under this manager.
