      Team Leader Interview

      3 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Alpaca in Nov 2021

      Interview

      First round was a screening phone call with the European leader about some general topics. It was already very confusing as he didn't try to set up time slots where we could talk he just tried to call me on my phone at random moments when I could not answer. So after 6 or 7 unsuccessful calls from both sides he finally came to setting up a time for this. Second round is a coding "homework". Very easy, nothing special. Last round is a group discussion with the team and the leader where they go into details on what lexical knowledge you DON'T already know by heart. It was a terrible experience. They kept asking bits and details on topics that I guess are important for their day to day work but they already know the answer to and any candidate can learn them in their first two weeks. (at most). This kept on for 2 hours even though everyone knew after the first 15 minutes that there is no point in asking these questions from me as I'm a generalist without any deep experience in their tech stack. I didn't try to hide this information, actually I told this to the interviewer in the first screening call. Such a waste of everyone's time, I got very frustrated about the whole experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe exactly what happens in the background when you initiate a docker build command. Given a timestamped log file, write a shell script to find the lines that have the same day in their timestamp field. Do it without any googling but with screen sharing. Write a go code that prints the elements of on array while you can't modify the enumeration part and that is using the index but not the item in the enumeration.
