Site Reliability Engineer II Interview Experience - Germany
Process
It started with a recruiter phone call. Then I had to do an online assignment.
After that, I received another call. I passed and we moved to the technical interviews.
I had a coding interview with two senior/manager engineers. The next morning, I got a call; my coding interview feedback was good, so we aligned a date for the system design interview.
This interview was with two senior/manager engineers. I received a call after four days stating I passed. Now, I will do the cultural fit interview with one of the engineering managers.
It was a friendly call, and I felt comfortable. After a few days, I got a call from my recruiter, and it was a match!
