Manager Engineering Interview Questions

8,517 manager engineering interview questions shared by candidates

Specific 5G NR protocol questions relevant for the role. With the senior management: one of the interviewers was an individual from a completely different engineering field who had no prior knowledge of the cellular technology at all. I think this was done intentionally to see how I can explain highly technical matters to a lay person. Generic questions were asked: tell me about yourself and what you have accomplished in your previous work, etc.

First round with the hiring manager went well. The system design round was also positive. However, the third skip‑level round was very disappointing. The interviewer seemed rushed, often cut me off, and showed visible frustration instead of listening. In my view, this behavior felt unprofessional and not aligned with the interview standards I expected at Apple.
