2,639 site reliability engineer interview questions shared by candidates

From India team there were 2 interviewers. They started with the introduction about themselves and the asked about me. Why I want to be a SRE? Then the technical round started. Started with some basic questions related to C++ and then followed by medium level questions related to DSA and algorithms. Then at last had few questions related to SQL. Then a week later had the interview with the Boise team. There were 5 interviewers. With them it was more like a discussion rather than an interview. started with introduction then a output deriving question from C++. Then one by one they started asking about by experience, about all the other projects which I had done in my internships. They asked about what tools were used, how did the ci/cd pipeline designed. They focused on the entire flow from writing a code, testing it. Merging it and then deploying it. Then they asked about my experience with docker, kubernetes, openshift, foreman, ansible. Which I had none. This interview went for approx 1.5 hrs. We also had a very detailed discussion on our project. Why was it required? Was there any other way arround.

Round 2: They asked a question similar to Meeting Rooms II but with network logging data. This was tricky as the question was framed very vaguely and the HM wanted the most optimal way to arrange the logs based on the severity of issues from a custom epoch but not using any date-time libraries.
