Process
The group focuses on the performance of databases and compilers. The manager interviewed me by phone. All questions were about my projects and skills. He expects candidates with system-level technical skills, which I do not have.
Questions
Q: Do you know how to test MySQL's performance? Q: Do you know shell scripting?
