      Engineering Manager Interview

      31 Mar 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Shelf in Mar 2026

      Interview

      The process was long but engaging and positive. I highly appreciate almost immediate communication from HR and their positive tone. What surprised me was the degree of engagement expected from the candidate and very clear expectation setting from Shelf. It is a startup and the openly advise you that it is not the place for everyone, and you should expect a high pace. I had 5 stages in total, with one unplanned but very positive. Overall if I had not been offered a more competitive offer, I would have joined.
