SRE/DevOps Engineer Interview Experience

August 4, 2026

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days.

They sent a time-gated CoderPad interview link while knowing in advance I was on vacation. When requesting a retake with a more relevant time, I was given a denial and no further follow-up. Not the first negative interview experience with the team.

Questions

Linux fundamentals, Kubernetes fundamentals, etc.

Valuable learning opportunities overshadowed by toxic dynamics

Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Great in-office benefits like daily lunches. Some co-workers are great to work with, and you can learn a lot.

Cons: Frequent travel. Some long-term co-workers are toxic and seem to undermine newer hires.

Great engineers hindered by incompetent management

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Great engineers, hard-working smart talents, a good engineering culture, and a supportive environment from peer engineers.

Cons: Mid-level management are grossly incompetent and have no idea what they're doing. They micro-manage engineers to death, create long meaningless meetings, post fake encouragement like "LFG", don't listen to feedback, and care only about their own optics. There is lots of meaningless red tape that is only for show.
