Process

A recruiter reached out to discuss a position that may be a good fit with my skillset. It started with a phone interview, followed up with a code review interview. The process took about 10 days.

The interview questions were not difficult, with some having several answers. Topics included Unix processes, networking, the TCP/IP stack, and system administrative commands.

The process was casual. I did notice this before the interviews even started; their coordination was awkward. After receiving numerous misspelled emails and wrong phone numbers, I was a little leery of working for them. Nonetheless, I continued with the 45-minute code review interview and answered the questions.

Overall, the interviews were comparable to other companies. They were also efficient with their responses and in answering questions.
