Entrevista
Got a recruiter call from a resume I dropped back in 2019. Probably as my current position are more interesting to them now.
The process involved several rounds:
- Recruiter reached out about various teams/positions. I decided to pick Delivery team. They was working with releasing the Gitlab application stack (Rails app + DB) on Kubernetes. Plus, they are also involved with the process of packaging features from other teams into a release.
- Chat with hiring manager
- Techincal interview (Kubernetes)
- 2x Peer Interviews (general Q&A with members of the team).
- Final interview with Director of Infra + another manager
- Decision

In the technical interview, I was given Kubernets cluster with some common problems in connectivity/scheduling, etc. The task was to figure out what's wrong.
The next couple interviews focused about specific knowledge in releasing software (due to the team).
There wasn't a clear format, just "tell me how you release this web app + what's problem do you expect".
My guess is that they are trying to see if you have done X in Y ways.

First recruiter screening then a technical interview then you talk to the engineering manager and you get another technical interview with a take home assessment and finally a senior engineering manager interview
Nice people, contacted by recruiter, had a chat.
Talked to different people in the teams that made sense - very positive feedback. Then they decided to remove 2 SRE positions - 1 of them was the team I wanted to join. They assigned me to a different SRE position.
Technical assessment at home and then talked it through with a developer. He stayed distant but polite. They told me that it's fine that I don't know Ruby and Go so well but I got the feeling that this was not the case.
I didn't receive an offer and tried to find out more. I never heard back and got no feedback at all.
4 Stages including the initial call. All a very polished process and people were friendly, although the questions were tough. Due to it's global remote nature some interviews may be at earlier/later times than you'd expect
