Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience

November 1, 2016

Process

The process began with an online application, followed by a "chat" with a recruiter.

During this initial conversation, they asked some questions, without prior notification that it was a quiz, and primarily judged personality.

From there, an over-the-phone coding interview was scheduled.

Following that, a series of phone interviews focused on Site Reliability Engineering topics were conducted. These included Linux command execution, specific protocols, and debugging network problems.

After these 2-3 interviews, a decision was communicated.

My only complaint about the process is the extended timeline for an internship. There were significant delays in responses from the recruiters; however, they were very kind.
