Figma Software Engineering Manager interview questions

Figma reached out to me directly and recruited me. I spent about four hours speaking with various team members and another three to four hours preparing for the interviews, reviewing the documents and videos they shared at their recommendation. Throughout the process, they were intentional about making me feel valued and repeatedly expressed interest in my experience. The interviews themselves were positive and engaging, and the people were easy to talk to. The process ended with a generic rejection email stating they were moving forward with other candidates, with no explanation or feedback, despite previously telling me I was the ideal candidate. It felt like being love bombed for two weeks and then broken up with, with no reason provided. I understand that not every process results in an offer, but the contrast between the engagement shown upfront and the way the process was closed was disappointing. Some basic context or feedback would have gone a long way in helping me understand the decision. I don’t regret the conversations I had with Figma, but the experience has made me hesitant about engaging in future conversations with them. The people were good to talk to, but the process reflects how candidate time and effort are valued.
