      Engineering Manager Interview

      Sep 28, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Had a phone screen with an internal Talent Partner. He was great at his job. Next was a follow up with the hiring manager. This conversation was pretty awkward. It was rushed and felt like there was a script the person was following to the letter, without space for natural conversation flow. I finished without having any idea how the conversation went. It was very abstract and I'm not sure how they would have inferred how I'd perform on the job, unless the role involved a lot of philosophical Q&A. I feel like this style of interviewing self-selects for people who are trained to be "good at interviewing" rather than determining who would actually be good in a role.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GitHub in Jan 2022

      Interview

      30 minute phone screen with HR, 30 minutes Zoom with hiring manager, three 60 minutes interviews with the team. Completed the entire interview process but was regretted with a generic email template that 2/3s of it was saying I’m now penalized from applying again for six months and provided no feedback whatsoever.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (Denver, CO) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      Extremely boring. By the books. He was reading a script and even cut me off before I could complete an answer. He rolled his eyes when I tried to dig in deeper. Interviewer felt annoyed I tried to actually converse with him. As most of the process was automated, I didn't feel like anyone at github wants to connect as persons.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe your management style Describe what you are good at and what you are bad at. Very typical interview questions

      Engineering Manager Interview

      Dec 15, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Houston, TX
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (Houston, TX) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      I interviewed for two engineering manager positions and talked to two recruiters at GitHub. Both were very open about the process as well as the compensation and benefits for the position which I found to be extremely helpful. They also asked me to sign an NDA in order to proceed, so I'll just speak to my perceptions of the process. First Position: The recruiter skipped the first round of interviews with me and went straight to the second round interviews. During the interviews the interviewers seemed bored as they read off their questions and typed out my answers. This didn't sit well with me, but they were spending all day in interviews asking the same questions to a number of candidates. While I had a lot of experience with their product, they determined they were looking for someone more senior than I was. Second Position: I was contacted again for another position I applied for. While the first round interview with the senior engineering manager went very well, someone farther along in the process than I was accepted an offer. The second recruiter called me personally to tell me the bad news and shared my resume internally to others recruiters. Unfortunately, none of the remaining positions left at the time were a good fit. It seems like it was just poor timing. I would happily apply again under different circumstances.
