Describe a time when you did X, encountered Y, had to deal with Z.. Literally ask ChatGPT for a bunch of generic behavioural questions you would ask an engineering manager about managing people and dealing with conflict. This is very much a tick box exercise and NOT a conversation.

Behaviour questions as an engineering manager technical questions questions from VP
Typical SDM questions about architecture/design. In addition questions about people and project management. Scenario based stuff. Felt like it was natural and talking to a colleague. Due to NDA's I won't go into details. If you have played the role before, this is should not be a problem. You don't need preparation. If you know how to build teams, manage challenging projects and have done it in past it will be natural. You can't really prepare for it. Preparation is going to be via your experience.
Can you understand, what we are saying, when we talk about your interview?
Are you able to download a code repository from GitHub?
There was no question that I deemed unexpected or most difficult. But the questions that drilled into specific details of my past projects made me pause to gather my memory before I could answer.
