      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      I interviewed at X

      Interview

      They asked me perhaps 3 questions - one about lsof minutiae - and ended the phone interview. The interviewer was abrupt, arrogant, and the Q&A process seemed designed to convince me they were jerks. It succeeded.

      Question 1

      iirc something about the number of file descriptors using lsof.

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      One manager in this SRE team is really disgusting. My worst experience so far. I passed all technical questions in the 1st round phone coding screening. This 2nd round is with the HM. behavioral questions mostly. He is so FAKE. He behaves like passing on to the next stage but rejected me 5 minutes later. Reading questions from a piece of paper with a faked voice. Writing notes while probably not hearing what I said. Looks like a politician, not a technical manager. Twitter looks too political internally at this impression. Really disappointed.

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at X

      Interview

      Twitter contacted me on an online recruiting platform and we planned our first call on Hangout. The recruiter did not show up due to transportation problem so we decided to rescheduled. The second time, recruiter did not show up, again due to "connectivity issue" and we decided to rescheduled, one more time. The third time, as you can guess, recruiter did not show up due to "multiple booking at the same time". So I guess I am not going to loose my time with Twitter anymore.

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. There were three interviews. The whole process took about 4 weeks. The first was an HR phone interview where she asked me about my background and some basic networking/Unix questions. The next round was a phone interview with hiring manager where he asked questions about my background, technical interests, projects etc. I was given a take home coding challenge. The challenge was a lot of fun to code and ended up finishing it in a couple days. A week later got a call from HR saying they liked my solution and would like to interview me onsite. Onsite interview was a set of 3 interviews of an hour each with 2 people from the team at a time. Interviewers were friendly, smart and overall was a very pleasant experience. Questions ranged from coding, OS/networking to scalability/architecture. They made an offer a week later.
