I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Open Systems (Zürich) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview process has 3 rounds: 1. Talk to the recruiter 2. Talk to the hiring manager a.k.a SRE Director 3. Three hours all hands interviews including general technical interview, SRE specific interview, and teamwork interview In general, the interviewers are very friendly, and knowledgeable as well. They want to work with you, not test your skill or show their superior like some other companies. No one knows everything, they may know something you don't know and vice versa. The attitude is very important to me and that's what OpenSystems has.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Open Systems in Oct 2022
Interview
First interview with the director of the SRE department. Pretty standard interview, took them 3 weeks to get back to me after I sent them an email asking for feedback. Apparently I was rejected on the grounds that I didn't answer 2 technical questions properly. I find it very debatable when even the chatbot from open AI, built by the some of the smartest people in the world when it comes to computer science, provides similar answers to the ones I gave (more on that bellow).
