      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McGraw Hill (New York, NY) in Jul 2026

      Interview

      30 min round with recruiter, one 1 hour round with engineering manager. Instead of engineering manager, senior developer conducted the interview. Interview consisted of just verbal questions from terraform, ci/cd pipeline strategies, how github actions work, basic database schema design (teachers, students, classes, assignments), observability, production support. This was for full stack developer position, but no question about frontend, and no coding question!
