Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
Email asking screening technical questions.
Follow-up email to schedule a phone interview from San Francisco (to me in the U.K.).
Firstly, there was confusion about time zones and dates ("tomorrow" when sent at 1 a.m. can be unclear).
The first time they did not call, only responding when I emailed to check.
This happened again the second time, even after being told to expect a call in a few minutes.
I declined to try for a third evening waiting to be called. A complete waste of my time!

Got a great work-life balance. Top-level management is focused and is working hard to push the boundaries. Highly technical people around to inspire you.Cons: As in any fast-moving company, new changes are always around the corner, where some work and some don't. At times, mid-management doesn't have a clear vision, which causes a lot of confusion and uncertainty. Still very much a US-centric company.
