Interview
The interview process was really the worst I've done in my life (and not because it was difficult or complex).
The two devops team members that started off the 1st hour interview (the team lead and another devops) were extremely unprepared to do the interview process. Here is a list of things they did:
- They kept writing each other and laughing in the background for things I would give as an answer and would let me talk or stay in silence during 10-20s intervals to keep chatting.
- They didn't collaborate at all in clarifying question interviews or being precise about the scope of a question. For instance, they asked about a design question and when I asked them back "do you think what I am saying makes sense or would you recommend me to think in another way?" and the lead simply answered me "It's up to you to decide things, we face this kind of problem every day, you have to be able to deal with it independently."
I believe that this tells a lot about the culture and what you are going to face if you interview for a devops position in Montreal/Quebec.

This was a campus interview held online which consisted of hackerearth coding round with 2 technical rounds and hr round later.
Hacker earth coding round was hard with 1 easy question and 2 hard coding questions ,
I managed to get full in 1 hard question and partial output in the other hard question but was selected for the technical round.
The 1st technical round was very easy and the interviewer wanted to just check your coding skills which lasted for 30 mins ,the next round was more about projects and technical interview questions on programming language.
