I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Alteryx (Topanga, CA) in Sep 2021
Interview
Two major stages:
1. Several days of back-and-forth with the recruiter trying to find out what the job entails and what needs to be done.
2. Two panels 1 hour each, and 3 additional interviews 30 minutes each over the course of about a week.
A more detailed list:
- recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn
- multiple messages with the recruiter
- phone call with the recruiter (30 minutes)
- interview with a team lead / manager (45 minutes)
- interview with a team of 4 people (devops engineers, 1
hour)
- interview with 2 people (devops architects, 1 hour)
- interview with a team lead (30 minutes)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Level of experience with:
- Configuration Management tools (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, CloudFormation)
- AWS and cloud in general
- Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms
- Observability tools (strangely, that garnered the least curiosity or questions)
