Coding Technical System Design Behavioral

Started with a recruiter call, then a codesignal test to be done in a week. After that, I had a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager. The final stage was an onsite with coding, linux, system design, and behavioral interviews. The behavioral part was kind of weird though, the manager was condescending and dismissive, which made it hard to talk tech.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share your greatest strengths and weaknesses?

Technical Behavioral

It was supposed to be a 45 minutes interview with the hiring manager, mixing technical and behavioral questions, but it finished in 25 minutes. The job description said Linux was a plus, but they kept asking about it. My resume and past experience didn't mention Linux. I'm not sure why I was selected for this interview.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you tell me about Linux command line?
  • How do you debug in Linux?

Coding Technical Behavioral System Design

So first there was this CodeSignal test, it was standard and had 3 questions. I had to pick 2 to answer. Then a virtual interview, which was a mix of behavioral and technical questions, but no live coding. The final part was an on-site interview that included coding, system design, and behavioral questions. Each of those portions on-site was about an hour long, and there was also lunch.
