      Pre-Sales Engineer Interview

      6 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Berlin) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Two Skype interviews, first with hiring manager and then with an software engineer in Berlin, then one with another engineer in Chicago, then seven interviews in one day at the headquarters.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were tons of questions on a variety of subjects. Some of the interviews turned out to be more along the lines of what someone hoped I would bring to the position given my extensive work history and experience, and very strong management skills, but had nothing to do with the job description. It seems they wanted someone who was good with software, but could also be a buffer between sales and engineering, and solve some of the friction that is causing. Some of the interviewers used the time to vent about their problems, which I thought was very odd. One of them asked me software questions that required me to analyze an algorithm on the spot, which I thought was very odd, since the opening was not for a software engineer. In the end I didn't get the offer because they thought my software skills were "rusty" even though I told the hiring manager I would need a bit of time to refresh my knowledge and he was OK with that.
