Candidate-reported interview process

Hr and interviewers were nice but I got ghosted without any feedback. Overall it was a positive experience but it would be nice to get a response after two interviews.

The interview was pretty long and focused solely on deep Linux concepts and networking. They weren't interested in other topics like git, Jenkins, or Kubernetes.

The interview was easy to moderate. It had 3 rounds. First was a code pair interview. Second was the architect round and the third was the manager round. Just be thorough with the basics and understanding of different types of software applications is important.
