Engineering Manager Interview Process at Tier-1 Companies

We prepare you for all stages of a typical Engineering Manager interview process at FAANG and Tier-1 companies

Initial Recruiter Phone Screening

  • Expect a few basic behavioral questions and those that cover the basic expectations from the role. 


Technical Phone Screen

This will generally be a technical round focusing on data structures and algorithms.

  • Expect open-ended questions that require you to ask clarifying questions
  • You should be able to explain your thought process algorithmically, implement workable code (fix any mistakes or bugs), optimize, test, and discuss your solutions.


Onsite Rounds

  • 1-2 Coding Rounds: Focusing on conceptual understanding(requires a strong understanding of at least one language, preferably C++, Java, Python, Go, or C) 
  • 2 System Design Rounds: Hold more weightage than the coding rounds. The questions will typically focus on existing products (for example, “How would you design Twitter’s feed?”)
  • 2 Behavioral/Leadership Rounds: Questions about your experience managing people, projects, as well as your ability to grow and develop strong teams.
