Operations Engineer Interview Experience - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Process
I finished the first round interview, which was 30 minutes long. They mainly asked about Docker, AWS, and Kubernetes.
I advanced to their final round, the "superday."
During the superday, they presented a very challenging coding question, but I nailed it. They also tested my ability to make modifications to their codebase, which I also completed.
A week later, I was rejected. The interviews weren't particularly hard, but I'm unsure what I did wrong.
Questions
They asked about working on their existing codebase and some coding questions that process a list of strings.
