Manager Engineering Interview Questions

Team fit interview: This was my biggest gripe with the whole process. No one in the above sections is actually on or related to the team you'll be interviewing for. If you pass all of those, you then talk to a potential hiring manager and they decide if you're a fit for the role. As I said above, I still very much consider this part of the interview process because hiring managers can and will pass on you for little things or things out of your control -- e.g. my first one passed on me because I admitted Java/Spring isn't my preferred tech stack; my second one passed on me because they were actually looking for a tech lead and not a manager; my third apparently liked me enough and I did get an offer. If that didn't happen, I'm sure I could have eventually run out of potential hiring managers.
