GitLab Interview Experiences
Solution Architect
GitLab has a typical tech recruiting process: a call with a recruiter, then team interviews. The recruiter is heavy on keyword matching and establishing specific skills from the past, including technologies not on the job description.
Software Engineer
Pretty straightforward interview, which is on their handbook. Initial screening, then reviewing a merge request. Technical was with the hiring manager, which is a mix of technical and behavioral. Practice more STAR format questions for this stage.
Frontend Developer
The interview began with an HR round where I was asked about my previous experiences, my motivation for joining GitLab, and an example of a time when I demonstrated creativity in solving a problem.
