Interview
I got interviewed by BlazeMeter (a Broadcom company).
The first step was small talk with the direct manager, nothing special just a regular tell me about yourself and himself telling about what he does and company. I wasn't looking for an enterprise companies buy the guy seemed really fun and professional with a start-up inside enterprise attitude so I decided to give it a try.
We scheduled a 3-hour tech task interview.
It was quite easy just regular stuff, building some docker and deploying it using Jenkins to some Kubernetes cluster (instance for Jenkins was provided and also a k8s cluster).
After I have done I was asked to show it and explain what I have done, also some general DevOps knowledge questions were asked around by one of the team members, pretty standard and nice.
The second interview was a design interview scheduled with their Architect, I was waiting for the guy in the scheduled e-meeting room, for a couple of minutes past the time, then I was called by a manager telling me that interviewer has issues with their own video software and were asked to move to other room.
From the first minutes, I got the feeling that he didn't want to interview me at all, he wasn't synced with the process I have done before and the whole talk wasn't pleasant as a design interview supposed to be.
