I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zadara in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview was moderately difficult and well-organized. It included a mix of behavioral and technical questions, which required both a strong understanding of fundamentals and the ability to apply them in real-world scenarios. I appreciated the interviewers' approach—they were respectful, asked clear questions, and gave me time to think through my answers.

Question 1
One of the most memorable questions they asked me was to design a system that could handle a large number of concurrent users uploading files simultaneously. It wasn’t just about writing code—they wanted to understand how I would approach scalability, error handling, and system architecture under pressure.

Interview
I'm not sure how asking an engineer 95 rapid fire questions spanning six different technical domains without any prior context or preparation is an effective way to assess whether someone is a qualified candidate.
Additionally, the vague line of questioning such as "what do you do when a network port goes down" without providing any specific error types or context feels counterproductive.
Even senior level engineers don’t walk around memorizing CRC error definitions or the exact port number for iSCSI. They rely on documentation, past experience, and proper troubleshooting methods. Expecting candidates to recite every protocol detail or command from memory doesn’t reflect how engineers actually solve problems in real environments.
