I was contacted directly by the recruiter, based on my resume, for an interview with the SRE team. The job description was vague and did not clearly state the skillset actually needed for the job. When I asked the recruiter about what would be asked in the interview, I was told it would be a technical round with coding in Java/Python and a "copy-paste" of the qualifications mentioned on the job description. The technical questions were of average difficulty, but the coding question was not LeetCode-level; it was simple scripting. If this had been communicated by the recruiter, I would have prepared for it.
