First HR screen then call with hiring manager.
The hiring manager then didn't show up for the interview, Had to reschedule.
The call with the Hiring manager was a random sporadic rapid fire round of his favourite linux commands. No situational questions whatsoever just questions about commands, I had to argue with the hiring manager that while the answer he was looking for was right, The way I described was also correct but he didn't seem to understand that theres more than one way to do something in Linux.
Next was a tech assignment which was fairly easy, configure redis on two servers and set up replication, write some small code to inject and read data using a data type,
I passed this. Next was what I was told a session to discuss this in depth, Except on this call we spent about 5 minutes talking about the assignment then I started getting quizzed on the best way to deploy redis, I was told I could do anything I wanted except when I gave an answer and an explanation I was told I was wrong, even though I have described scenarios that have been deployed before and I had good knowledge of.
After this I was rejected, I was relieved, a complete car crash process and nothing in the interview was really on the job description.
In my opinion, the interviewers only asked me questions to see if I knew what they knew, this is the wrong way to conduct candidate interviews and if these folks conducted themselves in my current company I would not let them within a mile of a candidate.
Avoid this company as it seems very chaotic and stressful to work there.
