Nokia Engineering Manager Interview

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Burlington, MA (took a day)

I was interviewed by five different people that would've been my peers. Except for the initial disucssion with the business manager, the interview teams seemed to lack any real training or preparation in interviewing and the questions seemed haphazard and disorganized. I felt like they were going through the motions of interviewing and that another candidate had already been picked.

The interviewers seemed beaten, tired and lacking energy. A common question that was asked was about how I handled conflict management.

I got a bad feeling about the Nokia given the low energy of the group, and the common question about conflict management.
