I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at GitLab (New York, NY) in June 2023
Interview
The recruiter was very open and communicated well. I was not able to go forward due to a misunderstanding of the required knowledge needed for the role. However, it was still a great experience getting to know Gitlab's culture and all the great things they are doing.

Troubleshooting different Linux logs in a GitLab failed instance
It was great. The process had multiple stages and took a while, as they are genuinely focused on finding the best talent that truly matches their unique team atmosphere and culture.
It started with a fair first assessment, followed by a recruiter call, and concluded with a technical interview that involved troubleshooting scenarios. The interviewers for this round are team members.
