Great firm, but the manager controlled the experience
If you are lucky enough to have a friendly manager, you will love spending your entire career here. Otherwise, things can get pretty rough and unwelcoming.
Managers call all the shots.
Trust the engineers. You have interviewed them extensively, with 7 to 9 rounds.

SRE Engineer
5 rounds of interviews: - HM behavioral & experience related - Kubernetes knowledge - Coding (easy/medium) - Systems, Linux, debugging - System architecture design Overall easy/medium, except for the Linux systems round which expects more low-level
SRE Engineer
Good. Focused on containers and scripting in Python. Smooth process, leadership is a tough one. Try to focus on K8s and Python; that's all. If it's a senior role, go deep into technical implementation to improve.

DM from LinkedIn from the hiring manager. Scheduled a meeting, had a few questions, and answered them quite well, I think, but no answer after. Asked why, and he said I won't be moving to the next stage.
