      Platform Engineer Interview

      9 Feb 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Capgemini (Birmingham, England)

      Interview

      Two stages: 1 - with Capgemini internal recruiter Multiple calls with recruiter before IV stage - discussing multiple aspects of experience. 2 - 90 min interview with Senior Platform Engineers Expectation that you have varied experience as a PE - with wide ranging questions on various subjects, depending on your experience the interviewers may move from one subject to another quite quickly. For me, the interview went well, with good feedback, but ultimately they couldn't offer me a role because they couldn't pay the rate I was on because I was not in the London location (preferred to be Birmingham based). Frustrating, spent several hours prepping for the interview, plus probably around 3 hours on various calls with the recruiter and the interviewers, whereas if they were upfront about the salary/grading and the fact they couldn't pay what I was asking for, then I wouldn't have even interviewed. Time wasted... let down... poor experience. Don't get sucked in by their LinkedIn campaigns!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were wide ranging in terms of Platform Engineering covering all the kinds of topics you'd expect: 1) DNS - you open up a browser, you type in www.google.co.uk, what is happening? 2) TLS/SSL - you open up a browser, you type in www.amazon.co.uk, you see a padlock next to the URL, what does this mean? - describe the process and what's going on in the background. Various questions pointing towards handshakes, key exchange, encryption/decryption etc. 3) Lots of questions on AWS, load balancing, EC2, Kubernetes/EKS, security groups, NACLs (google AWS interview questions and you'll find the ones they were using) 4) Git - explain how to make a change to an environment (cloning of repos, adding new files/changes, committing them, pushing back to the repo, when to do a git merge vs a git rebase, what the difference is between the two. 5) Various questions on Kubernetes using kubectl (again, google search interview questions on kubernetes and you'll find the ones being asked) 6) Docker containers - explain what an image is, how you'd build one, what a dockerfile looks like 7) Terraform/IaC - explain backends, what a state file is, when would you use remote state files and why, when would you use secrets, when would you use a module, what does the standard lifecycle look like (i.e. plan/apply/destroy/refresh 8) CI/CD - what is the difference between the two, what does a standard pipeline look like.

      I interviewed at Capgemini

      Interview

      1 interview - technical. Interview involves 2 seniors with a myriad of questions on different levels of difficulty. The interview lasted approx. 1 hour. Most of the questions probe you on the answers you provide.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There are too many questions involved. You need to know your paas, iaas and saas. You will be asked to choose which the areas of expertise and the questions are based on that area.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capgemini (London, England) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      its was 2 part interview. first CV questions just going through past projects and then a few technical questions. Very friendly first half. However the technical questions were brutal for a fairly junior role.
