Release Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

August 1, 2018
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by two phone screens with engineers, and one on-site interview.

Mostly positive experiences. The recruiter was very nice and helpful.

I had a bad experience with one of the coding interviews. I prepared to interview in Java, but they asked me to code a solution in Python, which threw me off significantly and caused me to perform poorly.

This was an outlier, as everyone else was fairly positive.

Questions

NDA prevents me from disclosing specifics.

Throughout the interview, there were approximately five coding questions. We also discussed the release process at my current job and Linux scripting topics.

All the coding questions were much simpler than I expected.
