1,066 sr engineering manager interview questions shared by candidates

typical management leadership questions. The feedback was ridiculous which prompted this review. Their 3 concerns they have with me, never showed up on my 7 other company panel interview feedback, which makes me think they are BSing or got the candidates mixed up. i sometimes screw up on coding (typically what i get my negative feedback on).

Spoke with the recruiter. Did a phone screen consisting of a general architecture problem. After passing that, did a four separate standard software coding problems covering the typical topics. The engineers were good interviewers, and they were very open to talk about the teams, products, etc.

Customer Satisfaction a) Imagine we have a customer support ticketing system. The system allows customers to rate the support agent out of 5. To start with, write a function which accepts a rating, and another which will show me all of the agents and the average ratingeach one has received, ordered highest to lowest. b) Currently your solution does not account for what happens if two agents have the same average rating. What options are there for handling ties and how can we implement that in code? c) Now I want to be able to see who the best agents are each month. Change the implementation so I can get that information. d) Write a new function that will allow me to export of each agent’s average ratings per month. You can export in any format you like- for example csv,json or xml. e) Make it return the average ratings unsorted./ Make it return the total rating for each agent without the average
