Elevate Digital (NC) interview questions

I had one of the most disorganized and misaligned interview experiences I have ever encountered. The technical interview was originally scheduled for 11:30 AM EST. The interviewer was a no-show, and I had to wait for the organizer to get in touch with him. A last-minute reschedule was sent for 1:00 PM, which I accepted. When the interview finally began, The interviewer stayed off camera the entire time. He opened by saying he would ask technical questions, which was fair, but then launched into what felt like a Network+ certification pop quiz rather than a DevOps interview. He asked about the OSI model, router vs. switch, DNS, VLANs, VPNs, Cloudflare, Azure CLI syntax, S3 vs. Blob APIs, and Linux commands like df and top. This might have been fine if that had been the expectation. But it was not. In a previous conversation, the same interviewer explicitly said he would ask me to spin up a resource group in Terraform and walk through the steps. None of that happened. There were zero practical DevOps, Terraform, or pipeline questions, despite the job being a DevOps-focused Azure role. The interviewer did acknowledge that some of the questions were just for baseline knowledge, but overall the session felt completely misaligned with the job description and the preparation I was encouraged to do. There was also no apology for the no-show or the last-minute reschedule. Bottom line: this process came across as disorganized, misleading, and not reflective of the actual role. If you interview here, do not expect clarity, structure, or follow through. Prepare for unpredictable trivia, not the real world DevOps scenarios outlined in the job posting.
