      Web Operations Engineer Interview

      23 May 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Mountain View, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mozilla (Mountain View, CA)

      Interview

      Initial HR phone screen, followed by a phone interview (or 2, if you're not near an office) with a relevant employee or manager. If all goes well, a full day of 3-5 interviewers, with lunch included. Airfare and hotel are arranged and paid for if needed. These will usually be 2-3 immediate co-workers (same team), and 2-3 people from other "nearby" teams. WebDev candidates may interview with an IT/Ops person, Operations Security with a NetOps person, etc. You're not expected to be an expert in those related fields, but are expected to be at least somewhat familiar with their roles and responsibilities and have a high-level understanding of what they do and when you might engage with them.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      general Linux sysadmin questions (*nix permissions model, config management, immutable flag, source control), web hosting specific things (Apache, MySQL, Python/Django). Expect some hard / non-obvious ones- Mozilla tends to hire strong.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Culture fit questions - comfortable working remotely, attitude towards Open Source and transparency, need for management oversight / direction, etc.
      Answer question
