I interviewed to this company to become a part of SRE team. First, we had a phone conversation with a manager, it was ok, he honestly explained that it has OPS too, briefly what they are doing and afterwards I've got a task to do. When I saw it, I was quite surprised that they want me to volunteer 5-6 hours of my time into this test. I found one task to be interesting enough and decided to do mostly that one, the other one was done just with a standard library, without spending much time. Anyway, I spent Saturday on it. During the onsite interview we've never got back to the task itself and I have a feeling that nobody actually checked it seriously. Onsite just shocked me. There are 4 sections and 90% of time you read your CV again and again, and again and again. There are one-two technical questions in the end of each section. There was a section purely with SQL syntax. I had much experience, but a long time ago, so don't remember all the functions there, which is fine. But it was the only really technical section so far. I asked every person about tasks they've been doing lastly. Afterwards a manager asked me not to pay attention to this, because plans are different. However, I believe, that it is important to get the idea what people are actually doing and not in the far feature, but about now, because that's what likely you will be doing too. Then we had a call with a person, who couldn't make on-site and it supposed to be a troubleshooting section. So, we again went though my CV, few more times. He wasn't even listening. For example, I've been told "well, it is something different from what you got used to", while just few minutes ago I said that I'd been doing exactly this for 6 years. Troubleshooting... there is some invented problem and then instead of giving diagnostics you ask for, they ask something like "what about database? will you check a database?" Assuming the fact that at this point I have no idea whether they have any databases at all, we're not there yet. And here we are again in a minute "will you check a database? will you?" I understand that possibly they have big issues with databases, it looks like they also have issues with interviews itself. I was quite irritated somewhere after the second onsite interview, but I have already taken my day off and spent so much time to this company, so continued, but I didn't hesitate to tell what I think about it anymore, so obviously no offer. We, of course, didn't click with a company. I've got an offer from a much better company with way better tasks. They're basically looking for a good OPS person, the interview process is completely broken. Some companies are fun to have an interview with, in some companies you learn something while you're there, here I regret about so much wasted time.
