There were 3 parts:

• HR interview
• Technical interview
• Manager interview

There was supposed to be another second manager interview, but the manager and I didn't hit it off very well.

He was late to the meeting. At first, I was sure this was just by accident. I later learned he did it on purpose just to test my response to "stress".

He did it because the technical interviewer, who interviewed me earlier, thought I should be checked for my response to "stress".

I do not believe being late to a meeting would test working under stress in any meaningful way. It just shows how little the interviewer thinks of the applicants and their time.

I think such games are dishonest and disrespectful towards an applicant.

Something about the manager seemed off.

He pretended to be easygoing and not worried about people speaking openly with their own words, so I tested him and learned he was actually averse to people speaking their minds and considered it to be unprofessional and showing a lack of humility.

He didn't say it to my face when I asked about it. I thought he wasn't being honest, and I actually asked him if he had issues and concerns about me, and he was being evasive and indirect.

The funny thing is they put me through their wicked tests but didn't bother to think if I was testing them for being direct and honest with me.

Tell me about a time you disagreed with a peer and you knew they were wrong.

Why are you interested in Gitlab?

Tell me what you like about the Gitlab product.

Tell me about your interest in security.

Tell me about a time you made a mistake. How did you go about correcting it? What lessons did you learn?

Tell me about a time when you were under high time pressure and were behind schedule. How did you approach this?
