      Devops Engineer Interview

      19 Mar 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Taipei
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Taipei) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Cold apply on yahoo myworkday site, got the phone screen invitation 1 week later. Was asked many linux commands, some system & networking things. and things related to my experience. In the tech panel (2nd interview), I was asked a few bahavioral questions, things about my experience, how to apply a config to many machines with follow-up questions include scaling, error dealing, etc, and finally a coding section. In the HR interview (3rd interview), I was asked a bunch of lightweight bahavioral questions, I said they're lightweight because they're not as hard as the typical behavioral questions. They're more chill, more get-to-know-you. Got the offer a week later the 3rd interview.
