One of the best interview experiences I had so far. Quick responses from recruiters. Very nice team. Excellent company culture. Applied online, got a call within a couple of weeks. Then had a quick call with the recruiter about my skills and experience.
1st Interview - 2 SRE leads Video Call - Mostly behavioral and culture fit questions. Discussed my past experience. Q. Tell me about a situation when you had to change something in the existing project and how did you achieve the same? Q. How do you deal with a situation where you don't agree with one of your teammates?
2nd Interview - Online HackerRank take-home test - 5 algo/DS questions. Difficulty increases as the questions proceed. You can pass this round if you get at least 3 with all the test cases passing. If you pass this step, next is the onsite interview.
Onsite Interview 1st Round - Senior Site Reliability Engineer & Site Reliability Engineer (Technical, Coding) Basic algo questions on DS like, "When would you use a hash table?" Array/ArrayList questions. Sorting technique questions. One coding question on CoderPad and Big O notation analysis for the solution coded.
2nd round - Head of SRE & SRE Team Lead (Management/Behavioral) This is mostly a discussion on what are your expectations and understanding about the role.
3rd Round - SRE Team Lead, Engineering Team Lead (Technical, Ops Review) This was mainly a deep dive into one of my current projects with tech details on why you designed it the way you did. I would suggest picking one of your projects where you can showcase your depth of knowledge and prepare well to dive deep into technical details.
4th Round - SRE Manager (Values) They give a lot of importance to the values of the company, so make sure you go over those thoroughly. Also, the questions you can expect in this round are mostly on whether you have practiced some of their values in your past experience. For example, one of the values says, "Be the change you seek," so typically, they will ask about an incident where you have exercised this value.
