Interviews

Hope everyone’s week went well! I’m a tech recruiter with 3 years experience in cleared roles, skilled trades, professional services, and backend software engineer recruiting. Any company’s hiring / you’d recommend applying to? I have both agency and corporate experience.

I just interviewed with Amazon for the Sr. PM position. I had four back to back interviews. Two of which were also PMs. However, who was the bar raiser in this case if the third was a UI Designer and the fourth was a Software Engineer? 🤔

Have my first interview for Microsoft software engineer new grad position this week. Any advice or tips? Will I be asked any technical questions the first interview? Or is it just behavioral? Any advice on how to prepare for the interview would be great!

What do you look for in a team or company?
I'm currently job hunting, and as a senior software engineer, it looks like I'll have many options. What questions would you ask the hiring manager or team members to understand the culture of the team?
Specifically I'm looking for: collaborative work environment, focus on mentorship, interesting technical challenges, good leadership/management, little-to-no work drama.
What do you wish you had asked your boss during the interview?
Thanks!

Interview questions with a PM?
I'm currently interviewing for senior software engineer and have a couple interviews with PMs (culture fit, etc).
I've had some rocky relationships with PMs.
As a PM, what would you like an engineer to ask you?
As an engineer, what would you ask a PM to understand how the work with engineers, what they prioritize, if they throw engineers under the bus, etc?
I've also had many experiences with great PMs.

My degree is EE. Amazon had an opening for an entry level Control Systems Engineer, and so I applied. I got an email back from recruitment saying the team was pleased with my resume and that I’ll be hear back soon to schedule an interview... but for a Senior Software Engineer position, which my resume does not match. I replied letting them know that wasn’t the position I applied for. I check the Amazon jobs site and my application was “no longer under consideration”.
