United StatesPosted Dec 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly technical Linux-focused interview path that felt challenging but not impossible over a short timeline.

Phone screen — I covered my work history and general technical fit, with job-relevant systems including Linux and Windows.
In-person technical deep dive — I was tested more specifically on Linux command-line work, compiling software, and troubleshooting approaches, with time to ask questions.
Technical emphasis throughout — The interviews skewed technical rather than STAR-style; the goal felt like validating I was the right candidate for the role. Outcome: I didn’t get an offer, but the process was clear about what technical areas mattered most—especially hands-on Linux
