Principal CI/CD Platform Architect Interview Experience - Farnborough, United Kingdom
Process
Applied on the company's work portal.
The initial conversation with the recruiter was very nice. I talked to a really nice person, a suitable recruiter. I wish all recruiters were like him.
The second interview was conducted with a Senior Manager and Senior Architect. It was a really disappointing interview. The senior architect, who was supposed to test my knowledge, asked me many questions unrelated to this position, mainly related to the DevOps ideology with fancy wording. When he asked questions about AWS, he couldn't understand my answers and, in other words, asked the same question. When I finally asked him what information he would really like to hear from me, he couldn't do it and asked me the same thing.
At this point, I decided to stop taking part in this interview because he was very annoying and unprofessional.
It was the worst interview I've ever had in my entire career, in which I worked as an IT specialist on several continents.
