SRE Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California

February 1, 2014
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter for information, which they then sent to another recruiter in my area. After some back-and-forth with that recruiter, I scheduled a phone screen interview. The recruiter was helpful and answered all my questions. They provided many links to topics I should know for the phone screen.

The phone screen was on time. However, it was quite obvious that the interviewer did not use the language I used (or did a hell of a job pretending they had no idea what pointers were), which was disappointing.

If you make it past this round, you will have an on-site interview. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to have this opportunity.

Questions

Non-disclosure agreement.

That being said, I was asked an unexpected question about a specific part of the language I was interviewing with. This had no connection with any part of a normal CS interview I have ever had.

Was this helpful?
