Customer Operations Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I was contacted on LinkedIn, followed by a 20-minute call with the recruiter and a 40-minute call with the hiring manager.
I thought I did okay answering the Linux questions. For additional questions on garbage collection, I did not go much further.
After the interview, since there was no word from the hiring manager about an on-site interview, I realized it was the end of the road. However, it would have been good if they had communicated this to the recruiter and me.
Questions
Linux questions, such as searching for a process and how to know connectivity between two Java processes between machines.
About garbage collection.
