1,065 software development manager interview questions shared by candidates

I prepared by trying to understand the 14 leadership principals and then prepared several experiences per principal. I don't think it was necessary to memorize memorize the list of principals, but you should be able to rattle off a few in context and be able to talk about any of them if asked. Questions are usually, "tell a time when..." performance management, hard problems, process improvement, etc. You can't really prep for the design question but it will be vague so ask questions.

The first interview was a series of open ended questions related to infrastructure design. Other interviews included "What's the most complex thing you've worked on?", "How many people have you managed?", along with a sampling of behavioral questions. The final interview was another open ended question related to designing a system end-to-end.
