Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
The interviewers were very nice and friendly. The questions were of medium difficulty.
I would say: be yourself, show what you know, and admit what you don't know. Demonstrate a desire to learn new things.
The whole interview process took about 2 months.
Questions
I had four interviews:
A system design task. A troubleshooting task (infrastructure issue) with questions about my background. A coding task (designing a sorting algorithm) with behavioral questions. The last and hardest interview was with a Principal Group Manager, who also gave me a troubleshooting task.
