On-site F2F interview focused on team/people management situation-based questions followed by architecture walkthrough of a solution build in the past. The virtual on-site interviews were focused on specific skill/area and I had two system design, coding, growing people, leadership, and delivery execution interviews. Although the initial touchpoint wasn't great and I didn't get the offer, the whole experience was a positive learning experience.
How do you communicate about technical project needs with non-technical teams
Talk about high level system design of a specific project
Looking back what would you have done differently in the project
How did you use OKRs in previous positions?
Even though the interview was for a senior engineering manager role, the interviews were very technical. There were 2 rounds of design interviews with questions on how to design an access control system for Facebook and how to design a system which can store Wikipedia on a distributed set of mobile devices. During the coding session I had to solve a binary tree search problem. Sessions around projects and management style asked about experience with certain situations and how to solve them.
