“Recruiter call was quite okay. It was just basic level of asking if I had certain experiences, very surface level of asking, then just preparing me for what the rounds are. Followed up with an email with a list of interview topics that may be tested. Subsequently, I had interview in the technical phone interview round. I managed to answer ~50% of the theoretical questions, but the remaining 50% were very hands-on and experienced based which I did not have enough of, like specific commands to run and troubleshoot when things gone wrong. Interviewer did not ask me to self-intro, nor ask about any of my expereinces at all. We just dove right in to the questions. Out of the 5 topics that were asked of me to prepare, only dove deep into 1 - Linux.”
“Long process with multiple rounds. Recruiter was very efficient and helped with expectations for each round. ”
