8,274 team lead software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

The interviewer began asking me computer science questions—not particularly difficult ones, but I was exhausted after a long day and hadn’t been informed to expect technical questions like implementing a binary search. At one point, after I hesitated, he said, “Come on, man, you have a CS degree, don’t you? How do you not know this?” The tone was condescending and dismissive, which only added to the stress. By that point, I was so mentally drained I couldn’t even bring myself to ask any personal or meaningful questions. In hindsight, my only regret is not ending the interview the moment he made that remark.

Why didn’t you become the lead of your current team, but you served as an interim lead only.? What KPIs would you use to monitor the performance of the team? You don’t have experience with the specific part of Supply Chain and you keep giving examples from your current role/ experience. Can you please give us more different examples?
