I had one of the worst interview experiences of my career. The hiring manager exhibited unprofessional behavior, akin to that of a bully. It was evident that he was not genuinely interested in hiring. His demeanor was difficult, and he repeatedly asked the same questions, demonstrating a lack of respect for prospective employees and clear tendencies towards micromanagement. I would not recommend working under this manager.
About previous experience in my position
If we offered you this job and you accepted: What would you do your first day? Your first week? Your first month?
there were so manyHad to write a block of code that was checked for positive and negative test cases as well as performance (very long strings). I asked about it it later, no one ever looks at the exercise, just the score. In person questions were about experience and how to handle conflict and adversity. One interview included a short exercise with a block of supposedly real production code that was awful, I had to analyze and explain why it was wrong.

What made you interested in this role
Endured a brutal 6-round interview gauntlet for a Senior Software Engineering Manager position at #Captalone, excelling in coding, system design, and behavioral evaluations - all without the hiring manager lifting a finger. Today, they blindside me: 'Technically stellar but short on leadership,' and shove a basic Manager role at me. It's a blatant low-ball, a mockery of my seniority and the ordeal they put me through. This isn't just disappointing; it's disrespectful. My concern stems from comparing the interview process for a managerial position at Capital One versus what I'm familiar with at companies like AWS, where candidates for similar roles undergo at least three managerial interviews, including a session with an L8 director level. The depth of these interviews at AWS ensures a comprehensive evaluation of a candidate's leadership and influence capabilities. In contrast, my experience with the Capital One interview process included only one brief 20-minute round focused on behavioral and managerial aspects. This limited exposure does not seem sufficient to thoroughly assess a candidate's leadership qualities or influence, especially for a role as critical as a Senior Software Engineering Manager.
