Behavioral
I found the job online and the hiring manager contacted me to set up a chat with a recruiter. It was a really weird 30-minute call where the recruiter just spent the entire time trying to find reasons why I wouldn't be a good fit, which was odd since they reached out to me. It was also unprofessional that the recruiter promised an update within a week but never followed up.

Behavioral Technical
The interview journey was super chill. After I applied, I had a quick chat about my history, how I work with others, and why I dig SRE. Then, we dove into a technical discussion (no coding involved!) covering Linux fundamentals, networking ideas, and how I'd fix typical production problems. The folks I talked to were really nice and made it feel like a team effort. It was a smooth ride, mostly about seeing how I think rather than cracking tough puzzles.

Behavioral Coding
The process had 3 rounds. The first was a prescreening with the recruiter. The second was an interview with the group manager, and the third was a coding interview, which was supposed to be related to the position and not just regular LeetCode. I wasn't happy with how they handled it. I was going through a major life event but still made time to interview, and they found it was an inconvenience for them and cancelled the interview even though I received great feedback. The insensitivity they displayed towards me was disgusting.
