      Engineering Manager Interview

      27 Jun 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Budapest
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primer (Budapest) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Super professional all the way. The talent team kept me in the loop each step, they also shared feedback closely after each session over email as well as in impromptu calls. The interview challenges were on spot and helped the interviewers as well as me to get a clear picture on what type of person they are searching for the EM role.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Cultural alignment: We are humans - share a story when you messed up something and caused production issues?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      System design - how to design an SDK solution, close to what the team is working on. Concentrating on the interactions between the server + client, how to handle state, handle external calls, polling, etc.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Team leadership questions around scrum / sprint cycles, team management, growth plans.

      Engineering Manager Interview

      11 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Primer in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Their screening process is a mess. I applied for the advertised position which described exactly the responsibilities I currently have, word by word. Exactly the same business domain and product area, and all of that is listed in my CV. I received a generic rejection email saying that they will go with other candidates who are a stronger match. It's really impossible to have a stronger match than this, but they still said so. Probably I dodged a bullet.
