      Engineering Manager Interview

      May 28, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BAE Systems

      Interview

      I applied online and attended an event, where I spoke to the hiring manager who recognised my name and CV. We had a lively discussion and agreed to follow up later. I then attended a face to face interview. This was competency based and very straightforward. It was also extremely hurried and the interviewers' attitude was sort of 'I don't want to insult you intelligence by asking this but..'. They also mentioned they had to take a lot of notes for HR. This gave the impression that they were dictated to by a HR process slightly, further emphasised by comments later about 'process treacle'. I left the interview feeling they had pretty much rushed it and were glad to have someone interested in the role. They were focussed on COTS, but didn't seem too sure what it meant, outside of their own problem domain. On several occasions, they confused the concepts of virtualisation and operating systems. There was a fixed view of what integration meant and I don't think the interview format (on rails) or time really offered much opportunity to really explore the candidates experience or capabilities. They repeatedly stressed work life balance as a key benefit. This is most likely because the basic salary is low. though other benefits are good. They are doing some interesting work, perhaps struggling to find and retain good people, but don't seem to realise it.
