Behavioral
I was referred to the company by a friend, and shortly after, a Peloton recruiter reached out via LinkedIn for an application. A few weeks passed with no response, so I tried contacting the recruiter directly through InMail, but they never replied, even though they saw the message. The recruitment process felt immature and questionable.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
First, there was an HR call. Then, I had to debug a k8 deployment, which was pretty easy and done in 15 minutes. After that, I had to debug a Docker container and do a simple coding exercise. Then came the personality and work experience questions. Finally, there was a System Design interview, mostly Q&A. I mostly enjoyed the process and met cool people and the company seems great. My only issue was with the system design interview; some questions about multi-cluster and very specific scenarios I hadn't encountered. I wish those kinds of questions were asked earlier to save time. The questions were like, 'what program/method did you use to solve x', for example, what did you do for CI/CD, and if you said anything other than Argo, you probably got it wrong.

I went through several interviews. It began with a call from the recruiter. After that, I had four interviews with the hiring manager and some team folks. The interviews included a coding task, a system design discussion, an SRE troubleshooting scenario, and a culture fit interview.
