      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      21 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      Phone screen with a live coding question followed by an on-site interview. Thumbtack has one of the nicest offices I've ever visited. The on-site interview questions were not difficult. The coding question was easy and fair, though I could not finish it in the time given. I may have talked too much before the question was given, depriving me of valuable coding time. There was a troubleshooting session involving a very unlikely scenario. I thought it was absurd but as the interviewee I played along. The interviewer probably had the intention of measuring your system knowledge. In my personal opinion, the question did a bad job of that and just measured your knowledge of system trivia. The other interview sessions were fair.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack

      Interview

      The interview had 5 parts (recruiter, team lead, systems design, programming, onsite). I declined after the second interview with the team lead because each of my responses was met with condescension.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Two phone interviews consisting of one coding exercise and a Linux troubleshooting interview. This was followed by onsite interviews at the Thumbtack office in SF. Recruiter was very prompt, and would always get back to me within a day or two. It was a very smooth process, and a positive experience.
