Question 1
Started from basics and went very deep into reliability related experiences

Interview
I was contacted directly by the recruiter based on my resume for an interview with the SRe team. The job description was vague and did not entail what skillset was actually needed on the job. When asked the recruiter about what will be asked in the interview I was a told that it will be a technical round with coding in java/python and a copy paste of the qualifications mentioned on the job description. The technical questions were of average difficulty but the coding question was not leetcode it was simple scripting which if communicated by the recruited I would have prepared for.
