      Devops Engineer Interview

      Aug 9, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zendesk (Melbourne) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      1. A company recruiter contacted me over LinkedIn and asked if I'm interested in a position in their growing Melbourne office. She arranged a screening call with an engineer. 2. The screening call was on 10:30am via Skype. It took about 30 minutes. The engineer was the head of the operation and it was more technical and the encounter was very professional. 3. I received an email from the recruiter that said the screening interview went well and they want to meet me. She also explained the interview process. 4. I had 4 back-to-back interviews with different people in one day. The first one was purely SysAdmin which I tanked. The second one was more DevOps and the third one was more Solution Architecture. The last interview was with the director of engineering. It was more about my career choice, etc. 5. At the end of the last interview I met with the team lead and he gave me feedback on the interview. The gist of it was "I didn't do well in SysAdmin interview. Although he is sure that I can catch up they have outstanding operational problem and need somebody that can pick it up right away".

      Interview questions [5]
