      Senior DevOps Engineer Interview

      9 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PA Consulting (London, England) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      They wasted 2h of their own time by failing to read the first paragraph of my CV with understanding. They wanted a Google Cloud specialist but I'm devops/backend/frontend/fp generalist, which was clearly stated. Seems like they don't work as a team when hiring. If a person before makes a mistake, the next one has the wrong idea what to expect. - Introductory phone call - in hindsight what happened is that a non-technical caller must have fixated on my previous job involving GCP and passed that forwards. - Phone call (bad sound quality) with a technical person asking random infrastructure questions (reasonable though), not interested in experience or insights. - On site interview (TBH I only went there because I wanted to practice interviewing, I was already uninterested due to the big corp culture I was able to deduce from the emails - so that one's on me). The first person interviewing me finally understood I'm a generalist and so the person after him after a few sentences of chit chat stated that "I'm only beginning" to use GCP (what she actually meant is that I haven't used it with projects like the ones they have in mind).
