3 Phone Screens:

1. Recruiter contacted me (headhunter).
2. Recruiter talked about roles. SRE and Infrastructure roles here are viewed quite differently, apparently.
3. Director.

Virtual Onsite:

1. Coding.
2. System Design.
3. Deep Dive.
4. Coding.
5. Talk with manager.
6. Personality/Social (likely just for leadership positions).

Be really certain to distinguish early on the type of Software Engineering role and ask for them to be clear about the role skill set they look for, as the recruiters tend to confuse them and ended up interviewing for the wrong role that was a bad fit for me and that I wasn’t interested in.

I got clued into this during the final round when I asked some of the interviewers how these interviews related to SRE roles, and they said I wasn’t interviewing for those roles.

An interview got rescheduled multiple times last minute (30 minutes before) because one interviewer had conflicts and then showed up late and was unprepared.

Overall, it felt disorganized between the managers, recruiters, and interviewers.

I had to sign an NDA, so I can’t say.
