Unlike many other companies, they had me to talk in details about things I built at my previous job. This is something I personally like to ask candidates a lot as it yields tons of useful information. I was happy to see them doing the same.

I received no interview questions, but it shouldn't take over a month to reject an applicant for an engineering management role. Either you know what you're looking for or you don't--no need to waste candidates' time. LinkedIn also said the job posting I applied for had already been up for 2 months (!) by the time I applied, too. The job posting was still up by the time I was rejected. I can't imagine what interview protocol the company is following if they can't hire a single engineering manager within a quarter, when there are a million qualified candidates available right now due to industry layoffs.
