      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean in Mar 2019

      Interview

      1. Recruiter phone interview. 2. Hiring manager video interview. 3. Team lead technical video interview. 4. Three peer technical video interviews. The interview process was technically difficult (ie challenging, stimulating), but socially easy (ie personable, friendly). The recruiters kept me informed of where I was in the process at every step and preparing me for the next step.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Walk-through my resume including my role and contribution at each employer.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Compare and contrast basic systems programming constructs, eg process vs thread, mutex vs semaphore, TCP vs UDP.
