Process
Interview Steps:
- Recruiter interview
- HackerRank
- Another recruiter interview
- Pair Programming (1 hour)
- System Design (1.5 hours)
- HM interview (1 hour)
- Feedback call
Since interviewers are located in many different countries, they are sometimes late or miss emails/queries. This can happen when working across different time zones.
After all these steps, I was told I didn't have enough production experience. However, they specifically needed people with production environment experience, as they do not maintain separate QA/DevOps teams. This was not evident before the six interview steps, nor was it mentioned in the job description.
