The process of booking the interview with the recruiter, prior going forward of the hiring manager was quite simple.
The job description however did not really reflect what they are looking for, as it seems an devops engineer, or a person with devops background is what they are looking for.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GitLab
Interview
The interview process was hands down the most impressive experience I have ever gone through. From the screening call to the final round everything was transparent, organized, efficient, and fair.
