This was a very relaxed interview. The hiring manger had some prepared question but he was comfortable with my experience and my knowledge of the subject matter. Most of the interview was a exploration to structure the offer. He had an interest in my experience in the Army.

About a six question quiz. It's not designed for people to get all the answers right, it's designed to see how you think. Use any resources, any, internet, phone, applications on the laptop they'll give you, etc. In general they'll give you a Linux stack trace to analyze, a regex string to create a match for (regex101. Com), how to do something in Linux (tail - F), a code chunk to define what it does, they give you raw configuration files (text based config) for a firewall and ask you to describe details of rule X, Most people get between a 10 and 20 out of 30.
