Process was straight forward - phone screen with a manager then a full-day in-person interview day. l enjoyed meeting with the team and they were very open about the team, company, etc. Very refreshing to have a human conversation with your future team and really get to know what it will be like working with them rather than sitting in a room answering cookie cutter questions. They still asked important questions about my technical and management experience but did it in a way that felt like a conversation rather than a test
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
1) Tell me about a time... xyz - disagreement between team members, a plan changed, etc.
2) Tell me about a time you had to solve a technical hurdle that may not have been identified by the engineers
Personally I wasn't asked technical questions about DNS but I would highly recommend knowing your stuff when it comes to how the internet works, nameservers (all types - authoritative, recursive, top-level DNS, etc), networks, what happens when you hit enter in a browser, how a page is rendered/DOM loading order, ip addresses, etc

Process was chaotic, poorly communicated, and overall frustrating. Was chosen for a job that seemingly disappeared and then was told I’d have to reapply to work under a separate manager. Many repeat, anecdotal questions in the interview and just a long and daunting process. I ended up declining a second interview panel because I felt my time as an applicant was not respected, so likely my time as an employee wouldn’t be either. All employees seemed to love their work though! Just generally too gate-keepy and popularity contest feeling for me.

Overall interview process was planned for 4 stages. I was ghosted out after 2nd meeting.
First, there was standard HR phone screening with intro about the company and particular role. I was informed about recruitment process and asked for financial expectations. Second interview was held by someone on similar position. Most of the questions was based on my experience and requirements for the role specified in job add. I was informed that feedback should be provided within 2 weeks. After 2 weeks without any further info, I've sent some follow up emails to HR, however never received any reply. Overall, I got ghosted in the unpleasant way.
