It is DevOps position in China. Applied through official channel and got call from HR. The conversation with HR is great, HR is professional. Then it comes the worst part, technical interview with their architect: Basically the architect didn’t have too much experience in DevOps or interviewing DevOps role, to me it feels he is more want to find a developer with DevOps experience, too bad... Suggestions: they should get the help from HQ or other site if they really don’t know how to interview a DevOps engineer in a professional way: for example, regarding Kubernetes, only one question was asked and not a common one, there is no question regarding CI/CD pipeline or IoC like Terraform/Ansible, also no question for AWS/GCP, all those skills are required from the job description though. So be careful.

I had a referral and a week later the recruiter reached out to me. I had multiple interviews ranging from discussing technical background, LC problems, and chats with upper management.
