Release Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and arranged interviews. The process consisted of two rounds of telephonic interviews and six rounds of in-person interviews. Almost all discussions were technical. The only exception was a final interview with my hiring manager, which was more of a behavioral and team fit assessment.
Questions

Politics are awful among those wrangling for influence & looking to climb. Top-down decisions are pushed onto managers and teams. Too many meetings. Unproductive build environment for thousands of engineers, and forced use of homegrown tools & technologies that are inferior to commercial & open source ones. It's a HUGE company with different subcultures in different divisions; this just describes one.
