I received a referral for an interview with Siemens Hyderabad.

There were three rounds as usual.

Although the job description mentioned a complete DevOps profile, the interviewer focused more on the Java development part. If you are looking for development from a DevOps engineer, then don't waste the time of candidates who prepare wholeheartedly.

Instead, hire a Software Development Engineer.

My interview was conducted by Aparna. I managed to answer most of the questions, but I was still rejected on the basis that I don't know Java development. The interview was about 1.5 hours long.

Linux shell scripts: find, awk, sed.

Ansible playbook to make a directory if it doesn't exist.

Docker Compose files: volume and port mapping.

To calculate the sum of the two highest numbers in a given array.

Git questions: fetch, pull, cherry-pick, stash.

Jenkins CI/CD, webhook questions, Git branching strategy.
