Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience

January 22, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

Worst experience ever. The recruiter was basically completing his KPI. It was not even 10 minutes, and he was so rushed to jump off. However, he still pretended that he would check with his team, blah, blah. Interestingly, I had already heard about their bad hiring process from my friend. I was there just to prove how bad they could be. :)

Questions

The recruiter was just bluffing on how good they are, how much money they have been earning, and how much they are going to increase their team size. Well, I am not your customer, right? Lol
