Process
I applied for a Software Engineer position and received an email from HR regarding interviews. The process began with a quiz about Linux commands.
In the first round, I was given two coding problems. They were not difficult.
The second round was a system interview, which was more of a discussion. It involved many questions about Linux troubleshooting.
Both rounds included no behavioral questions and no self-introductions; we directly solved problems.
Questions
Given the output of the vmstat command, analyze the system.
Send packets to remote machines and try to upgrade them remotely.
Troubleshoot why some of the machines are not updated.
