      SRE Manager Interview

      8 June 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018

      Interview

      The usual: meet with SRE team tech leads, peer managers, Hiring Director. I had 7 interview blocks, 45 minutes each, all 1:1's in a conference room. They had just moved into their new building, so I was given a tour. It was nice. The interviewers had assigned modules, but many were OK deviating from their modules to dig into what they wanted, hence many duplicate questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you build a diverse team. (Most interviewers focussed on this) Tell me a time you had a challenging interaction with a manager from a different team. (asked multiple ways by multiple people, but basically the same question/answer. Prepare multiple answers.) Tell me a time when you had a challenging employee interaction (same as last question, have multiple scenarios for the same question). Whiteboard a system you worked on, in as much detail as you can. What would you say are your strengths and weaknesses. What would your reports say is your management style.
