      Senior Linux and Openstack Systems Engineer Interview

      Jul 8, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Jacksonville, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Jacksonville, FL) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      5 stages to the process, phone and skype screenings with HR, overview/personality and technical screen with three separate team members, followed by a final personality/fit phone interview with the hiring manager. The technical checks and interviews were more robust and less detailed than many technical interview I've had in the past with other employers.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe your experience and what specific tasks your performed in working with openStack as well as what experience you've had with Ubuntu and system tuning.
