Escalation Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
Contacted directly by HR Recruiter on the recommendation of another employee.
Drove 4 hours to Sydney for an interview at 9:30 am. No breaks until 5:45 pm when I asked if I could possibly have a glass of water.
Sat through 6 or 7 interviews in a row; I can't quite remember. They varied from deeply technical to psychological in nature.
Questions
I was given a number of technical challenges, which I think I handled OK.
The most intriguing question was, "What would your wife say is your biggest mistake?"
As I wasn't married at the time, this threw me somewhat.
