A recruiter reached out to me, and I took the online assessment (multiple-choice Linux questions) and heard back the same day that I passed.

Next were two screening interviews:

• One coding
• One systems

I heard back a couple of days later that I made it to the final round, which included:

• Two coding
• One systems
• One behavioral

It took about a week to hear back after the final rounds. After the final rounds was team matching. I talked with one manager and moved forward with them.

Overall, the PE coding section was easier than the SWE questions, but systems knowledge needs to be pretty in-depth (signals, virtual memory, MMU, networking, Linux commands, file systems).

Asked about troubleshooting in Linux, signals, memory, and other operating system related questions.
