Senior Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
A screening call with a technical recruiter, then literally the hardest technical interview ever, but for all of the wrong reasons.
If you guys want an expert in DNS, then surely you should be hiring a network engineer?
I know that I’m good at what I do, yet I wasn’t given the chance to prove it.
The interviewer was rude. He was using his phone during the interview. He also used a completely unprofessional word to describe disabled people.
He decided that just because I couldn’t answer a couple of completely irrelevant questions, I wasn’t good enough for his team.
I think I dodged a bullet by not getting an offer in the end. I would not want to work for a business that deems it acceptable to run interviews like this.
Questions

Employees do have some freedom to not attend meetings from which they feel they are not adding or getting value. Processes from being in a large corporation can slow your work compared to a start-up. However, if you're earnest in your desire to move quickly through the processes, then they aren't that bad.
