Candidate-reported interview process
We had an initial chat with the hiring manager. Then I was given a work sample that involved using AppDynamics. It was quite technical, requiring good command-line skills, and took about 8 hours to complete. Afterwards, the manager reviewed my answers with me, and was really helpful with any questions I had. Then, I spoke with a teammate who also answered my questions.
The interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, followed by a call with the Sales Engineering Director and then a call with the Sales Engineering Manager. Next was a take-home lab where I got to use the AppD product, which was fun even without prior APM experience. The onsite interview included a presentation, technical questions, and questions about my professional work experience. I really liked the interview process; it was challenging and I met great people.
It was good. They asked a few things about my resume, some technical questions, my goals, how I can prove I'm the best fit, how my future plans align with the job, and if I'm willing to learn what's needed.
