Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience

Process

After a few phone screens, I had a full-day onsite interview. Overall, I felt the on-site interview process was excessively structured, which perhaps contributed to a poor culture fit.

One interview section was described by the coordinator before the interview as "contrived" and having a trick answer. They then cited my not getting that trick answer as a justification for not hiring me. I would have preferred they simply said they preferred a different candidate; it was clear ahead of time they would be interviewing multiple qualified candidates for one open position.
