Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at McDonald's (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2024

Interview

Interview process was pretty standard. Screening call, interview with the hiring manager, then interviews with a product manager, tech lead, and senior tech lead. Standard questions like tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you encountered a conflict, etc. Everyone was respectful and easy to get along with. It seems like there are questions that McDonald's wants them to ask as I got a lot of similar questions. Overall a pretty solid interview experience.

Interview Questions
  • How would you explain a technical concept to a person without a technical background?
  • How do you go about developing a roadmap?
  • When did you work through a technical issue with engineering?
  • What does Agile mean to you?
  • How do you handle a situation where you encounter an unexpected problem?
  • How have you navigated a time where a stakeholder was difficult or didn’t agree with you?

It was a very straightforward interview with the manager. She didn't seem like she cared too much about the job. It paid very little too. The interview questions were very very easy.
