However I'm more concerned that a "Director of Engineering" position has these sorts of questions as a phone screen. Especially at Google, which has no shortage of applicants for IC positions who would actually be doing this work in any healthy and sane engineering organization. Does "Director of Engineering" at Google actually mean "Software Engineer"? Is this like in Finance where everyone is a Vice President of something?
