      Senior Software Engineering Manager Interview

      3 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Equinix (Sunnyvale, CA) in May 2017

      Interview

      Round 1 - recruiter. Asked for self video recording. First time in my career (25+years). Phone call. Comp expectation is clearly set. Round 2 - tech/arch folks. Hiring manager did not make it. Round 3, peers, hiring manager and his manager. Round 4 - hiring manager yet again for another 1.5 hours over the phone. Round 5 - cross functional. Round 6 - Exec level. Positive feedback throughout all rounds. Round 7 - recruiter. Talking numbers, low ball way below established expected comps which is clearly a deal breaker. Never heard back from them.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Left right and center - hard tech skills, arch, design. soft skills, process, org, people mgmt.

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review. While it’s not typical for hiring managers to have to jump out of interviews, from time to time it does happen when business necessitates it. We are sorry the manager was unable to attend the first round of interviews with the technical team, but glad you were able to meet with him during the second round. Speaking of which, wow—seven rounds! This is definitely not typical of our hiring process, as we do our best to move with speed and simplicity for both your sake and ours. Without visibility into the details, based on what you’ve shared, it sounds like our compensation was a deal breaker for you but that there is more you would like to discuss. Closing the loop with candidates is important to us. We hope you’ll contact Life@Equinix.com so we can learn more about the role for which you were interviewing and can connect you with the appropriate people.
