Engineering Manager Mock Interview (with Square Director of Engineering): Time You Made a Mistake

[@akalrove4834]

Love the "Yes And" framework and candid interview. It was refreshing to hear honest answers.

[@shwe3102]

It resonates with me a lot… My experience overshadows my professional empathy when responding to juniors with ideas… I am definitely going to try this “Yes, Let’s try…” model going forward.

I had the same problem and I started to fix it at the end of the university days when I realized this negative standard response to change and new ideas. My initial procedure to stop it was first explain people that I had the problem but that I would come up with a solution in the the or next day and make them aware. After a time I was able to be positive andget excited when people dropped new ideas

I think you missed the chance to ask some more very interesting and practical questions to a DIRECTOR.

[@achilles165]

Contradictory statements, he said he was in a team which constantly asked others for features and dependencies and on top of it he said "no" to whatever was asked of him 😳

[@SivaBhargavRavella]

Very candid video. Great stuff. Thanks for publishing

"I was looking for work a while back and decided to apply for a position at a company. During the initial interviews there were several red flags, but I decided to go ahead and continue with the process, and now I'm talking to you."

[@gameplayer1980]

A little too high level and academic in the answers. Would have loved for the interviewer to help drill down into more details.

[@vidhoo29]

I feel you are in depression for a while and then you have self realisation because you have strong mindset which saves you. IT happened with me too because I don't want to give chance to speak non-sense in front of me

[@francisd7081]

5:35 didn't answer question, just went off on a zigzag

[@mr.fusion9872]

thats why he is manager/director

[@xskrish]

@@mr.fusion9872 lmao

[@bazscott]

Yes, and… is called plussing and it comes from Walt Disney originally not from improv

[@VinayKumar-vp2qf]

How can someone in director role use the "a" Slangs in an interview 9:25

[@girish9841]

[@hrd1711]

[@loc7s]

No titles? What nonsense. How does anything get done?

[@madhanraj82]

I will neither hire him nor work in his team.

[@diljitpr1764]

me too, pure sugarcoated answers. total bullshit

[@balakrishnanganesh2800]

Looks more artificial mock and these doesn't show real life scenario

[@alkingsona2119]

Sorry to say - No energy, no passion and it’s not even clear to understand him.

[@randeepwalia1507]

I don't think he did well, but there was enough substance that I believe he would be a much stronger candidate with better preparation. I believe this candidate threw himself under the bus by portraying himself as dismissive and rude.

[@WeilongYou]

Yes And doesn't impress, just a dry language trick

[@ScrambledLegz]

What I took from this is he believed he needed to change his attitude so that he could climb the ladder but he didn’t really believe it. Not a great example of an interview. He may be technically capable to pass interviews on that alone but he failed the behavioral module.

[@madhanraj82]

Sorry. Not impressive.

[@nageshvinnakota6022]

Not so impressive
