Have you heard the term "project retrospective" and wondered what it is all about?

A project retrospective is nothing fancy, but a meeting that is held after a project is completed, and the team comes together to discuss what went well, what didn’t, and how things can be improved for future projects.

Think of it like a "look back" session where everyone gets to share their thoughts and insights on the project.

Project Retrospective interviews are more like technical discussions on the projects that you have worked on in the past.

These interviews are also called technical deep dives and are commonly conducted at FAANG companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc.

With these interviews, recruiters want to see how you critically evaluate your projects, identify what went well, and understand what didn't.

If you're aiming for an engineering manager role, you need to be ready for project retrospective discussions in interviews because:

  1. Demonstrates Leadership: Shows you can lead and facilitate important team meetings.

  2. Continuous Improvement: Indicates you are committed to learning from past experiences and improving processes.

  3. Team Collaboration: Proves you value input from your team and can foster an environment of open communication.

  4. Problem-Solving: Highlights your ability to identify and address issues that occurred during the project.
