Manager Software Interview Questions

3,548 manager software interview questions shared by candidates

Case interview: I expect these vary depending on your interviewer, but mine was a simple business case and they gave me a code snippet that was meant to be a partial solution to that business case. The interviewer and I discussed what the code was currently doing, if it solved the use case, and what changes we might make to improve it (and also actually making some changes to the code). So it was a combination of code comprehension, code editing, understanding the use case, and critical thinking.

Behavioral interviews: Each of these consist of three standard "describe a time where you..." manager questions. The caveat here is that you have to answer in the SAR format (Situation, Action, Result). They tell you this up front and they mean it. Stick to the script and say: The situation was (...) My actions were (...) The results were (...) If you deviate from that, your interviewer will get lost very quickly.
