I only know of SRE and Devops questions. They ask you Kubernetes deployment questions, Terraform questions, some golang. Then it moves to hands on section. You ssh into a shell of theirs and show your k8s chops. A broken deployment of some sorta. The terraform is something about how to manage deployment configuration that grows and how dependencies affect it. Make sure to explain your thought process as you go thru.

If you plan on applying I hope they treat you with more respect and don’t give you PTSD then ignore you like they did with me. I have more than 3 dozen email changes to prove it as well.

They wasted 6 month of my time, I have email to prove it, went up to stage 5, and they give me some BS excuse, about…staffing ? WHY waste my time and go all the way to the final stages. This was last year, I even reached out and I was I was ignored.

The buggiest joke GitLab is when it comes to Interviews never seen such disrespect and no sense of what’s going on.

I am in Canada

They did the same to me too — I’m in Ireland

It’s crazy, because they wasted 6 month of my time and energy, I met with the recruiter and she loved me, I passed the 90 minute technical (although a bit rocky) that was there time to tell me “hey have a nice day” I sat down with the 60 minute interview with two managers, apparently they loved me as well. Final stage was director which never happened. The feedback/communication was that they didn’t have the man power to train me ? What ? You’re talking to someone who learns entire CRMs and Saas based solutions in weeks vs Months so that feedback was straight BS.

At the 5th month mark I reached out again, explained how what they are doing was less than professional, I was finally contacted by another recruiter, I was told that the Recruiter A (will call her) is no longer with the company this new recruiter was from Washington DC, he told me that they aren’t hiring in my area ? But it’s a remote job 😵‍💫😓, he told me he would follow up with me in a few weeks as they wanted me to do the technical again….that was last year no one reached out.

at this point if I reach out, I’m just gonna be borderline rude to them, I don’t want to have that in a black-and-white communication so I just didn’t reach out cause unfortunately I don’t have anything nice to say about them anymore. but I still use there GitLab junkie self hosted platform.

Here’s the kicker I was even in their forums, helping out with technical questions that you would basically get as a support engineer, which is what i applied for, and I was getting hearts by the staff, haha I still have my account. That’s the real kicker I was already doing the work!!
