I applied online. I interviewed at D2iQ (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I had an excellent interview experience with a great HR representative, manager, and other team members. A manager who is engaged, enthusiastic, and able to communicate expectations and goals clearly helped me to build a sense of excitement and confidence in the role. Team members who are welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable helped to provide insights into the day-to-day work and culture of the organization. Overall, I had a very positive interview experience.

Question 1
What command would you use to check how much memory is being used by Linux? What would you check if you try to execute a file in Linux and get a “file not found” error? Check if executable is in $PATH or try calling it explicitly with full path i.e. /tmp/my-exec or ./my-exec How can you login to another system in your network from your system? What is the docker command that lists the status of all docker containers? What is EC2? What is kubectl?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at D2iQ (Hamburg) in Aug 2017
Interview
It started with a very good conversation with the recruiter who pointed me out to the best opportunity for me in the company. I received a challenge to be completed when I had time and then had two interviews before I was invited onsite. This process was very fast, and in pretty much one week I was already making plans to go to Hamburg.
At the onsite, it was a long day of interviews as you would expect from any top company (Facebook, Google, Amazon..). I met colleagues and talked with people in different positions both in SF remote and Hamburg.
Everything from the quality of the product, the papers and materials I received to prepare, the speed of the interview process to the quality on every step and every interaction I had with current employers really impressed me.
I am glad they extended me an offer and can't wait to join :).

Question 1
What is the most important "thing" to have in mind when doing a Code Review?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at D2iQ (Hamburg) in Nov 2016
Interview
My interview process was unusually slow due to my remote only work condition which slowed some processes.
I've applied for a job at Foundations team in September with note that I am available only for remote work.
After a month I got contacted by SF recruiter where he asked about my previous experience. We've also chatted about remote work option and we agreed on doing a code challenge. Next day I got an email with the assignment and note that I should limit myself for 4 hours for the solution. After submitting my solution I got scheduled a review call with one of my future colleagues. As next step I got invited for an interview day at Hamburg office. I had multiple interviews with members of different teams that covered multiple areas like very basic data structure questions, security area, debugging, Linux and distributed services design. The day was well organised and the interviewers were very professional.
After that I had couple interviews with managers. They've proposed me to join the Security team instead as it would be a better fit for geographical reasons. As final step I got an offer.
