      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      17 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo in May 2017

      Interview

      Applied online. Was contacted by a HR, a phone screen interview was scheduled a week later. The interviewer was kind. He told me about the role and asked me some questions on my previous experience and then a few linux commands, on stuff I am familiar with and 2 coding questions. He also gave me a feedback, he said he was satisfied with the answers and he liked one of my solutions alot. Unfortunately, 2 days later I got a reject and the HR said that they hired someone else.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If I have to find all files which are similar in a directory, which command should I use and later he asked how that command would internally work. Given an array with each element repeated once except one, find that one and optimize the solution - both space and time.
