I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xero (Toronto, ON) in May 2022
Interview
Was contacted by a Xero recruiter.
Initial phone call with the recruiter.
Second interview was a casual meeting with the team lead. No technical questions. It was just to see if there was a good personality fit and that my experience might be a good fit.
Third interview was presenting an end to end diagram I made of a software system I am familiar with. The questions were of a DevOps/SRE nature. They are working in a very large and well developed pipeline and I felt I was not able to adequately answer some of their pipeline related questions.
About a week later the recruiter called to let me know they were moving forward with another candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
