Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Ireland

March 1, 2015
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a LinkedIn recruiter on LinkedIn.

Had a quick phone screen with the recruiter, who did a fantastic job of selling the position to me.

I then had to do an online set of coding exercises, which I describe below.

I didn't find it too hard, but I do have a problem with writing code or thinking in front of people in pressure settings such as an interview.

The experience was positive, minus one minor thing for one of the questions where I felt the interviewer was confused as to what was expected and did not clarify. Instead, they simplified the problem, which made me insecure as to what the result would be.

The coding exercise was done on a Collabedit instance while on the phone with the Senior SRE.

Both people I spoke to had a nice, positive, and friendly tone. I would like to try again in the future.

Questions

Q: Write a program that prints out all numbers between 1 and 100. When the program would print a number exactly divisible by 4, print "Linked" instead. When it would print a number exactly divisible by 6, print "In" instead. When it would print a number exactly divisible by both 4 and 6, print "LinkedIn."
