Customer Solutions Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
Recruiter call was quite okay. It was just basic level of asking if I had certain experiences, very surface level of asking, then just preparing me for what the rounds are. Followed up with an email with a list of interview topics that may be tested. Subsequently, I had interview in the technical phone interview round. I managed to answer ~50% of the theoretical questions, but the remaining 50% were very hands-on and experienced based which I did not have enough of, like specific commands to run and troubleshoot when things gone wrong. Interviewer did not ask me to self-intro, nor ask about any of my expereinces at all. We just dove right in to the questions. Out of the 5 topics that were asked of me to prepare, only dove deep into 1 - Linux.
- Recruiter screen
- Phone interview
Interview tips
Rather than preparing on your own experiences, deep dive in the topics that the recruiter had sent, and try on practical projects immediately to familiarize the day-to-day (if it's a topic you have little experience in, since they seem to be hiring very specific niches)
Company culture
Unsure if the one interviewing me was the hiring manager, but seems to be deeply technical about 1 topic only.
