Production Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. He asked several simple questions and then set up two phone screens: one for "systems" and one for "software engineering."
A few days later, I was invited to Menlo Park, CA, for a day of interviews. There were five 45-minute sessions:
- Software engineering
- Networking
- Manager
- Design
The interviewers varied in quality, but they were generally pretty good.
Questions
Under NDA, I cannot reveal the interview questions. However, they are very predictable questions that could be easily understood based on the interview names. There were no odd trick questions like "deploy SSH to 10,000 servers on the moon."

A well-distributed culture of seeking impact and keeping productive, which, along with a considered hiring approach, means that everyone you encounter is bright and eager to help you get things done. A low-touch management style is encouraged, with a focus on growth and getting blockers out of the way.Cons: High public visibility when you cause the site to crash. No 401(k) match.
