Process
The process had multiple stages. There was an initial phone screening, then a HackerRank, then live coding, and finally a final round consisting of three rounds. One of the interviews in the last round was quite strange and open-ended. The interviewer asked me to present about Kubernetes after doing some research. The others were just coding and behavioral.
Questions
Something about kubelets in Kubernetes; I can't remember exactly, as it was a while ago.
