      Software Engineering Manager Interview

      20 Jan 2021
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Better (New York, NY) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      (Note: current review is during pandemic, so all remote) Pre-screen is an informal talk with recruiter (within the company, not external recruiter). Generally this explains the opportunity and more about company + a lot of resources about company. Second round is more technical behavioral (however no coding, just "Tell me about a time" question) within a technical context and explaining past experiences. This gives some context on whether the position is a good fit, and explain the final round, a 1/2 day onsite (remote in my case) Remote Round: Here is where the technical interview is stressed (including for manager). 2+ hours in system design. Designing systems, scalability and data choices, SQL/Non SQL and considerations, sockets, long polling, storage and privacy, etc... This is the hardest part of the interview. This is followed by more behavioral questions and meetings with leadership.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      System design questions are big focus.
