      Devops Engineer Interview

      Aug 1, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Zürich
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GetYourGuide (Zürich) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and in the next day, I got an email asking for scheduling the first interview. First Interview(Skype) 50 min.: The first one was with the DevOps team lead and he seemed to be a very nice guy. I talked about the projects I am currently working on and my interests in technology and some points on my resume. He also asked me questions about personal interests and why Switzerland once I was applying from overseas. Tech Interview(Skype) 90min.: The second was the tech interview, was with the team lead plus a senior team member. They asked me questions about Linux, networking, troubleshooting scenarios, programming, Big O, aws, etc. Both demonstrated low-level knowledge about the questions made. Cultural Fit Interview(Skype)45min.: The cultural fit interview(Skype) was with the co-founder and CTO. He asked me about motivation, previous experience, some tech questions and I got the chance to know the company better. It was very nice. Feedback(Skype) 10min.: I got a call from the recruiter who gave me the feedbacks so far.(That's was really cool!). Take home test(4 hours): I got a call from the team lead where he explained me the problem and how I supposed to solve it, he suggested some tools but I was free to choose whatever tool I wanted to solve the problem. The test was very DevOps oriented where I needed to automate a task and post the solution on GitHub. They gave me a Slack user to chat during the process to understand the problem and premises. I had a week to find some time to work on it and I spent about 9 hours of actual work.(The orientation was 4 hours but I wanted to deliver a robust solution). The presentation day(Skype) 30 min.: The interviewers were the same from the tech interview. I explained the approach, why, the tools used, the issues I had and the future improvements. They've made me some questions about the implementation and if I would change something. The CEO talk(Phone)60 min.: I had the chance to ask lots of questions about the company, vision, health, mile stones, etc. and there was no question without an answer, it was really nice of him. He asked me about motivation, previous experiences and what my former managers would say about me. Feedback and Pre-offer(Skype) 15min.: I got a call from the recruiter who gave me the feedbacks of the previous interviews and take home test.(again, really cool!). He also said he would be working on an offer and what would be important to me. He was very nice letting me know that my initial expectation was below the Switzerland market. The offer: I got an offer 20% higher than I initially expected. They also provided a relocation guide with all the information that may concerns when you're moving overseas.(It helped a lot). Conclusion: This is by far the best hiring experience I had. The whole process took a month, every single person I talked was very nice and passionate about the company. I can't wait to work with them.

      Devops Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GetYourGuide

      Interview

      I've been referred by someone already working there and got an email in just 2 days, in order to set up the first meeting. Skype call We discussed my motivation of joining the company, I talked about some bullet points in my resume and I was described the interview process. Tech call The tech interview was a progressive one, which started with some basic system administration questions and quickly went to more advanced debugging and monitoring scenarios. There was also a practical part where I had to solve a programming problem in a document shared with the interviewer. Test day I was invited to visit the office in Zurich for a full day. During this time I had some technical problems to solve and also got the opportunity to meet the entire team, see how they collaborate. During this time, I also had a cultural fit interview with two Principal DevOps Engineers. All costs of the trip have been supported by them and I also received a GetYourGuide voucher. Executive call I had the chance to talk to the CEO, who seemed very open and didn't hesitate to answer any question. He asked me about previous experiences, what motivates me and what I knew about the company. All steps of the interview allowed me get a glimpse of how the company is on the inside, and understand if it was a right fit for me. All the people I've met were awesome, the new office in Zurich looks great and the interview process has been one of the best I had.

      Devops Engineer Interview

      May 18, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Zürich
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GetYourGuide (Zürich) in May 2017

      Interview

      Applied online. Got a response next day that company is interested in me with a link to a calendar website where I was supposed to provide my availability for the first interview. This first interview was over skype with DevOps team lead and wasn't technical but rather about getting to know each other and motivation for joining the company. Second interview was over skype as well with a DevOps engineer and was technical. Started with easy and moved to more difficult questions. Covered linux administration and technologies used in DevOps industry. Third interview, again over skype, was with a "person from outside of devops team" who appeared to be from a high management level. This was a "cultural fit" interview. After passing these three interviews I was invited to an on-site "test day" interview to Zurich. Company covered flights and accommodation at a nice hotel which was 5 minute walk from the office. During the test day I was shown around the Zurich office and introduced to other GYG members. Attended a morning stand up and was offered to have some drinks / snacks. For the test I was given a laptop running ubuntu and the list of challenges I was supposed to solve. Challenges required knowledge of linux, web-server architectures, networking and programming. After returning home, I had to have the last interview with CEO and was also requested to provide a couple of references. After each stage of the interview I was given a feedback (usually within 1-2 days) and was always given an opportunity to ask questions. Didn't accept an offer because of the more attractive offer from another company in California . All people that i've met during the interview process (either face to face or over skype/phone) were very nice, friendly and open. CEO Johannes Reck didn't have any problems answering questions about financial state of the company. Whole process was very good, fast moving with almost no hiccups.
