Senior Engineering Manager Interview Preparation Guide - FAANG Standards

Senior Engineering Manager interviews at FAANG companies typically consist of 6-8 rounds spanning 4-6 weeks, designed to evaluate technical depth, leadership capability, decision-making quality, team management skills, and cultural alignment. The process progresses from initial screening through multiple technical and behavioral interviews, culminating in hiring manager and bar raiser assessments. Each round focuses on different dimensions: technical execution, system design thinking, project leadership, team dynamics, and strategic vision.
