      Senior Engineering Manager II Interview

      Sep 22, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Denver, CO
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Denver, CO) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      I had a great interview with the recruiter, then a "Systems Design" Interview with a Software Engineer and a "People Management" Interview with a manager. The System Design interview was nothing like described by the recruiter and was conducted by a software developer who didn't really seem to understand the role of a senior manager and focused on the wrong areas. The People Management interview was a excellent behavioral interview by an experienced manager who, in my opinion, asked all the right questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The system design interviewer wanted to know how I would shard a distributed database for data that included "all the data" for "all the businesses in the world" with the intent of creating an app that would provide this information about any businesses within one mile of a specific location. The question started out about how to design this system, but the interviewer in the end didn't want to know about replication or security or any "system level" information, just how I would shard the distributed data.
