DevOps Manager Interview Experience

April 14, 2017

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Applied online and got a call.

Two phone screens, video interview rounds (substitutes for on-site rounds) with 7 people (both 1:1 and group/panel), and one final video interview (1:1) with a top-ranked executive from the management side.

Very friendly people. They explained that I didn't get an offer as they were looking for someone more senior. It was a learning experience.

Questions

Discussions about my projects, work experience, technical system design questions, DevOps concepts like CI/CD, Cloud environments, Containers, and VMs.

Splunk Work Experiences

The company is investing in the future. I can't wait to see it in 5 years!

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Senior leadership truly cares about the company's future. Company is investing in talent that can take it to the future. Very transparent to all employees. Very competitive compensation. Company is growing like crazy! Company has fun as one of its core values. Feel like long-timers are slightly more receptive to new ideas now. Equality and respect are emphasized as part of company values. Parental leave for new parents (including adoptions) is very generous!

Cons: While the company is investing in the future, there's still a little bit of resistance to change. Not as many perks as the big companies, but definitely more than smaller companies. There's a lot of new people with very ranging experience and expertise, leading to new "processes" that may slow down the company if not checked. Employees are surprisingly not as familiar with the company as I expected.

Good work-life balance, but Engineering is struggling to find its way

Principal Software Engineer • Current Employee

Camby, Indiana, United States

Pros: Work-life balance is okay, with the exception of times when engineering is under a tight deadline. Pay has generally been very generous. The managers are usually very personable and easy to like.

Cons: We have been through a lot of change lately. Engineering isn't viewed very positively by other organizations (Product, UX), which makes it difficult to get things done, especially if you are the type of person who is usually good at working across silos.
