Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Git Kubernetes AWS knowledge questions, and a code challenge at the end.
No initial screening phone call, meeting was directly with the hiring manager.
I'm not sure if they already decided not to hire me but very few questions were asked about my background.
I applied through the career site and was contacted directly by the hiring manager for a 30-minute virtual screening. The call was professional and moved quickly. I was rejected afterward (no detailed feedback), but overall the process was smooth and respectful.
