Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
A recruiter reached out to me, and a short phone call was scheduled to go over my background. Next, the hiring manager reached out to gauge more of the technical side. Then, a take-home technical problem was given, and a WebEx was scheduled to discuss my technical background more in-depth. Finally, I was flown out for an in-person interview which had some technical discussions but was more of a gauge on culture fit. The whole process took roughly a month and was very enjoyable. The recruiter was very communicative and took initiative to keep me in the loop. The people were enjoyable to deal with, and it felt more like conversations than interviews.
