Process

Probably the most roller coaster experience I've had interviewing. I conducted approximately 5 interviews over the course of 8 months with various levels of senior engineers and leadership individuals.

The recruiting team was great and on top of everything. They're very responsive, helpful, and encouraging throughout the process. Leadership also seems to be great. They have a great direction and communicate it very well.

The technical side included:

  • Leetcode style questions
  • Specific technology implementation knowledge
  • Standard system design
  • Specific SRE focused situations

The takeaway quote from my final interview was "we're expected to do more with less".
