Hello, 10 yoe, TC ~95k (Eastern Europe :) ) Saw a few interesting roles at Adobe and I'd like to learn more. The roles are Engineering Manager. Concrete questions: #Interview 1) Best way to get an interview? I applied on the website/Linkedin, but saw a bunch of posts on blind with recruiters not following up/managers filling in their own pipeline. Should I DM a hiring manager on Linkedin, or ask someone to refer me? 2) Interview topics for EM? I'm comfortable with the usual Eng Mgr topics (people management, tech design, algos/data structures, roadmaps/prioritization, engineering excellence, etc.). I'm wary whether they will deep dive on Agile topics (e.g. interpret this burndown chart for me) and whether they will deep dive on OOP/design patterns? 3) I have been an engineering manager for a bit more than 3 years in the past, but I am in an IC PM role right now. Is this going to be a problem? I do have the experience of managing a team, hiring/promoting SDEs, creating and delivering on roadmaps, etc., I've just been an IC for the last couple of years. #Life 1) Aiming at an European office. How's the autonomy versus US? In my current company, I've sometimes seen a tight coupling with US offices, with a lot of friction and frustration that comes with it. Are teams mostly autonomous and synchronize at a higher roadmap/product basis, or do they share a codebase/oncall rotation, etc. with the US engineering teams? 2) Particular teams/orgs to go into/stay away from? 3) How easy it is to transfer internally if things don't work out in current team? 4) Any expectations or tips for an Adobe Eng Mgr I may not be aware of or know what to ask? I've been SDM at Amazon in an EU team so that's my frame of reference #adobe
