J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) en janv. 2014
Entretien
It was one of the most organized interview process I have participated. Thumbs up to Linkedin and the recruitment team. They were always giving me feedback during the process.
1. It started with the phone screen by the recruiter with a few basic technical questions just to filter the candidates.
2. After that you are scheduled with 2 technical phone interviews with other Site Reliability Engineers. The first is generic and include everything that you can imagine, from linux to network, fundamentals, databases, troubleshooting, etc. The second is a code interview, you both share a document and you are given a few operational challenges to solve. You pick the language to use.
I really enjoyed that because I'm not a software engineer and I'm used to code stuffs to solve operational problems and that's what they want for a SRE.
3. If you pass the phone interviews then you are set to go onsite and have the full day interview with more SREs. The onsite is similar to the first generic phone interview, but now all those topics are interviewed by an expert in that area and go as deep as you can keep answering him. This is the challenge part :)
4. Once I was done with the onsite interview it took around 1 week to get the offer, but during that week I got a lot of feedback from the recruiter and she said I passed the process and they were discussing the offer and the SRE team that I would fit.
I really enjoyed the process, it was more difficult than what I expected and the communication was great with the recruiters.
All the steps above are communicated to you once you pass each of them, including the interview topics you are expected to have.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
I can't talk about the questions, but one of the topics the recruiter will tell you is about Linux Internals and that is definitely the most difficult.

There were two rounds
1.operation round
2.coding round
both rounds were easy answered all questions which interviewer agreed are correct .still din't get feedback why i was rejected. They have standard questions which will be asked in every interview . I don't know how they are evaluating candidates.

The Hiring process was long, lasted over a month. I had an initial Hacker Rank coding round, followed by first round of interview, then second round and then final round which consisted of 4 rounds of interview.
I had referred previous interview experiences on Glassdoor and that helped to prepare. The questions were mostly similar. I got a rejection mail after the first round but then again I got a call for second round. They never answer when we call back. That's what I felt very bad about it.
Questions d'entretien [5]
Question 1
First round was based on Networking. TCP/IP, ARP, DNS resolution, Sharding, Scaling, caching, server management concepts were covered.
Second round was scheduled only for Linux Memory management. Entire Memory management questions were asked. How it works, why is it required, Virtual memory, swap memory, swappiness and all.
System design was okay. They gave situations and asked how to design system in that scenario. We were allowed to ask questions to check if we were in tbe right track.
The last one was Troubleshooting
There was an Apache server and we had tk debug jt. It had 500 and 400 errors. I wasn't able to solve any in this round.

The process started with an online coding challenge. It had three coding questions around LeetCode medium level, one DBMS query, and around 20 MCQs involving Networks, DBMS, Linux, etc. Following that, there were two technical interviews and one host manager round. The first technical interview was a Service Architecture round where I was asked to scale a ride-hailing application to handle about 10000 requests/min. It was a 1.5 hour round. In the second interview, I was tested a lot on Data Structures, Networking, Linux administration, troubleshooting. Certain questions were very tough, like in what port do you attach your hard drive, but I guess they asked that to check our limits, and they weren't deciding questions. The last round was a Hiring Manager round close to a typical HR round, but I had certain technical questions about my projects.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Scale a ride-hailing application so that it handles ~10,000 requests/minute. This was a 1.5-hour-long discussion with follow-ups, including Consistent Hashing. They also challenged multiple of my design claims which I had to think about on the spot.
