Senior It Engineer Interview Questions

2,529 senior it engineer interview questions shared by candidates

They asked me not to disclose specific questions, which I will respect. Remember situation-action-result structure for every answer; don't give opinions or expect much discussion. Questions appeared to have been written by committee and were all about projects you worked on - no questions that revealed leadership style/experience, business acumen or people skills despite the fact you are managing an org of 50 people. STAR interviews are fine for younger people, but they don't make much sense for senior level people as they do not give you the chance to discuss your body of work and how it is relevant to the job. I left without them having any idea how I recruit, develop and lead people, if I beat my people or whether I have any financial skills. Too bad, I would have been a perfect fit.

A lot of the interview process was asking about my tech skills and resume items. And decent amount of strategy / business acumen questions , roll out, implementation questions and that sort of thing. Nothing too wild. They asked the necessary questions as well I felt like.
