8,499 engineering manager interview questions shared by candidates

Standard fare of two manager/behavioral focused interviews, a technical interview, system design interview, and "ask me anything" off-the-record conversation (normally would be an informal lunch interview). No questions or interest by any interviewer of anything on my resume, my passions, hobbies or life experiences. Only one interviewer showed any emotion or passion around the process. Clearly they were just going through the motions, likely interviewing me just to check a "fairness" box.

Presented a problem that equates to understanding "integral maps". Essentially write a generalized algorithm for building a map where each cell in input map is either a 0 or 1, and each cell i in the output map is the number of 1s that are present in the input map within a rectangle with cell i as the lower right corner of the rectangle.

How insane are these questions, they think that people are coming to join them because of an "IPO"... I wonder if they ask this to all candidates. ! Q1: Why are u interested in Rivian, because we had an IPO a lot of people want to come, is that your reason ?
