Process

The process was lightning fast and quite efficient. A recruiter called me and after the first call with the HR manager, set me up with the team's main manager. It went great, and I was already told to wait for the next call with another manager. The second call was a bit technical compared to the first one, but I was still told that I was through immediately and just had to schedule on-site interviews. The on-site interview was set up quite smoothly, and it was 5 sessions of 45 minutes each. Four of them were purely technical, while one of them, I felt, was interspersed with the technical rounds to make me feel at ease. Overall, I felt I wasn't the best, but I did a decent job.

Questions

Many interesting questions, most to test capability to think on your feet and respond to different scenarios. Basic questions about DNS, TCP, and also queuing disciplines.
