How it went
The interview process for a mid-level Site Reliability Engineer at Google in EMEA was highly specialized, focusing on production-scale challenges, deep Linux knowledge, and understanding the 'why' behind technical solutions. The loop included a recruiter screen, a coding and scripting assessment, and technical rounds covering troubleshooting, Googliness, and extensive Linux system internals. A simulated incident scenario was used for the troubleshooting portion, emphasizing practical problem-solving in a production-like environment. Candidates should be aware that team matching can be a lengthy process post-interview.
