Manager Software Development Interview Questions
1,145 manager software development interview questions shared by candidates
Software architecture questions (when there were no right answers) and the interviewer struggled to prove his answer was the right one.

I had a lot of appointments and I was a little bit restricted. I'm from Brazil and the interviewer the call quality was not fine, so much noise and delay. It keeps failing, the interviewer connects almost 4 times during the whole interview. By the end, the English-Indian accent of the interviewer and all those difficulties makes things really difficult, not the principles at all, because I had all examples, cases, and ways to demonstrate. Despite I can talk in English well, all these things together made me fail. More 6 months, and I'll try it again. :(
