Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

July 1, 2021

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter was highly abusive and constantly made implications linked with my current employment, which helped me understand the processes they had set up.

The interview process appeared pre-concluded and was designed to contribute to a bullying campaign.

False information about Tier 2 was also provided.

No actionable feedback was given, despite requests.

Questions

Possible easy/average programming task. The process is highly interrupted and set up for failure, despite the ease of the task.

Genuinely cares about employees

Site Reliability Engineer • Current Employee

London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Throughout the pandemic, Yelp's leadership has been making sure that employees have the resources they need to work at home. This includes office supplies, as well as time off to get vaccinated, check in on their mental health, and recover. Teams get to choose their own destiny, within reason, and there's a huge amount of flexibility.

Cons: Historically, the flexibility and freedom that teams have had have led to myriad different implementations of the same thing. Recently, this has started to become less of an issue with standardized platforms that make it easy for folks to do the right thing.
