December 1, 2024
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and completed the automated OA. A few months later, I received a callback from a recruiter. I spoke to a hiring manager, which was a technical discussion with high-level questions on shell scripting, Docker, and Kubernetes. One week later, I received an interview request with another hiring manager. This interview wasn't too technical, and there were a few questions about my experience. I was rejected after this round.
