Question 1
How do you deal with a client who was unhappy with your performance
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Tampa, FL) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview process consisted of 4 stages. The first being a behavioral screen with a recruiter. The second stage was a technical interview with two members of the engineering team. Third phase was a personality and brain-teaser online test. Lastly, the fourth was a call with two members of leadership. The technical interview was not super difficult assuming you know some of the basics of Linux and networking. Overall, this was one of the most professional and high quality interview pipelines I have ever been through. The recruiter la was great to work with!
