Hi folks, I did great in coding and system design, but didn't show empathy and conflict solving skills, now engineering manager is looking into my case. What do you think my chances are? (It's E5)
Did your recruiter say that your packet is moving to HC?
No, she said that she asked engineering manager to review my profile
If you are very strong on coding / design we might do a follow up on behavioral.
Yeah, that's the funny part I should have mentioned, my follow up went the same or even worse at some points
But I didn't get rejected, after the second one, that's what gives me hope
How is the behavioral interview at facebook? Do they ask the "tell me about a time that ..." shit? How do you know empathy and conflict solving were your weaknesses?
Yeah, that exactly what they ask :) It starts from tell me about yourself and goes deeply with those questions. I got feedback and it said that there are my "lack of signals" or mixed signals
Was this a software eng (dev) role or a manager role? I didnt know behavioral matters so much for dev roles.
It's not more important, it's different axis of your expectations. If you fail behavioral, you usually won't get offer.
Thank you! So there is no way to say if it's fail or not, and manager can really say go hire him?
Yes, there is definitely no clearly defined line for success or failure. It's more about understanding how you would fit within the company b
