J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Personio (München, Bavaria) en mars 2022
Entretien
It was a 3 round process.
1. Screening by manager and hr
2. Take-home assignment (one week given)
3. Assignment review/technical scenario-based questions
Overall the interview was easy. Knowing Kubernetes basics is a must.
They have two teams for SRE, one focuses on system engineering and the other just on handling DBs (a bit odd thing).
