The interview process kicked off with a L1 Technical Round where they dove into core DevOps concepts, how to design CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, and Kubernetes. There were also scenario questions about AWS services like EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, and EKS, plus infrastructure automation. After that, it was on to the L2 Technical Round, which was a deep-dive scenario-based technical chat. This covered AWS architecture design and troubleshooting, focusing on networking, load balancing, and security best practices. They also went into Terraform Infrastructure as Code (IaC), covering module creation, variables, workspaces, and state management. Kubernetes deployment automation and its integration with CI/CD were also discussed, along with real-world problem-solving and optimization questions based on live projects. Finally, there was an HR Round to talk about my project experience, what they expect from the role, my current and expected salary, my notice period, and when I could join.

Technical Coding
I interviewed for a DevOps Engineer job and it was terrible. The interviewers wanted pure memorization, not real skills or problem-solving. It felt like a fact recall test. They were rude and acted like they were there to reject me from the start, not see if I was a fit. It felt like they had already decided who to hire and were just going through the motions. It left a bad impression and HCLTech needs to change their hiring.
