I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xero (Canberra) in Oct 2019
Interview
Standard interview with two people. One asked technical questions about Linux, Bash and other infrastructure tools, the other asked soft skills questions like tell us a time you went above and beyond etc. Interview was fine except after the process I was completely ghosted, even after following up.

Question 1
You're writing a Bash script and when you run it, it does nothing and you don't get the outcome you expect. Wht do you do?
I had 3 interviews, with a talent officer, a team lead and an engineer. The team lead was best for getting to know more about what the teams looked like. The technical interview was open-ended rather than specific questions, so it really depended how you answered as what the answer was.
