I interviewed at KNAPP North America (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
HR Interview. Very casual with a familial vibe with some additional questions regarding experience. Lots of background information about the company provided in addition to role expectations and salary info.
The interview felt pretty relaxed and approachable overall. It focused mostly on fundamental computer science concepts rather than anything overly complex or tricky. The questions covered a range of core topics, including Linux basics (like command-line usage, file permissions, and general system navigation), as well as programming concepts in Java and Python—things like syntax, object-oriented principles, and simple problem-solving.
There were also some SQL-related questions, mainly centered around writing basic queries, understanding joins, and working with databases at a practical level. Nothing felt designed to trip you up; instead, it seemed aimed at checking whether you have a solid grasp of foundational skills.
Overall, it was a straightforward interview that emphasized breadth across common technologies rather than deep specialization, making it feel fair and manageable if you’re comfortable with the basics.
I applied online. I interviewed at KNAPP North America (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
There was a phone screen where they asked me about my experiences with Linux, SQL, and programming languages. After a callback, a behavioral interview with a few technical questions was next. Last step was a technical interview with questions pertaining to Linux navigation, SQL queries, and how code written in different languages would function.
