How do you know when a project is done?
I was asked a lot of questions but most where focused around how I have/would manage different situations relating primarily to engineers to gauge my coaching style and how I would handle difficult situations, providing examples.
there were so manyHad to write a block of code that was checked for positive and negative test cases as well as performance (very long strings). I asked about it it later, no one ever looks at the exercise, just the score. In person questions were about experience and how to handle conflict and adversity. One interview included a short exercise with a block of supposedly real production code that was awful, I had to analyze and explain why it was wrong.
Explain a hard technical problem you had to solve recently.
a lot of tell me about questions. Specific question how to debug AWS error messages.
Typical medium level algorithmic leetcode type problems.
Endured a brutal 6-round interview gauntlet for a Senior Software Engineering Manager position at #Captalone, excelling in coding, system design, and behavioral evaluations - all without the hiring manager lifting a finger. Today, they blindside me: 'Technically stellar but short on leadership,' and shove a basic Manager role at me. It's a blatant low-ball, a mockery of my seniority and the ordeal they put me through. This isn't just disappointing; it's disrespectful. My concern stems from comparing the interview process for a managerial position at Capital One versus what I'm familiar with at companies like AWS, where candidates for similar roles undergo at least three managerial interviews, including a session with an L8 director level. The depth of these interviews at AWS ensures a comprehensive evaluation of a candidate's leadership and influence capabilities. In contrast, my experience with the Capital One interview process included only one brief 20-minute round focused on behavioral and managerial aspects. This limited exposure does not seem sufficient to thoroughly assess a candidate's leadership qualities or influence, especially for a role as critical as a Senior Software Engineering Manager.
