Service Engineer Interview Questions

4,725 service engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Most questions weren't that difficult. Once you start talking about them, the interviewer offers their input and the interview flows like a discussion. Questions ranged from flags in TCP handshake to collecting design requirements for a website and deciding on what basis to select cloud providers. Load Balancers also figure in interviews.

I didn't understand this task, it was sent to email in doc format: 1. Need to design and write script that will resolve with 2 artifacts in same folder: package and the manifest file with the following restrictions a. The scripts get 3 params: Package, Action, Target Cloud b. Each Cloud has its own state of available Loaders: i. Cloud1 – GalleryAction only ii. Cloud2 – GalleryAction & CatalogAction iii. Cloud3 – CatalogAction only c. Manifest must include both Loader sections. If not needed, leave data empty as shown in the example below. d. Supported Actions: Upload, Delete, UploadCuration For Upload or UploadCuration actions the PackagePath value is mandatory. For Delete action it is redundant. e. For UploadCuration action ‘Location’ param is also mandatory. Manifest Path The manifest file name must be 'AzureServicesFlowManifest.json' The Path should be [20200419-114306]/AzureServicesFlowManifest.json Path is arbitrary after the root "/", everything arrives at the high side relative to the root path, so it deepens on the packer (low side component which generates the package) and the loaders at the high side to agree on the format of the paths We Settled down on this format: Path: Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd-HHmmss" e.g 20200419-114306

All the usual competency questions - describe at time when blah blah blah. answers presented in the S.T.A.R format The interviewers were all very 'too cool for school' and portrayed the web interview as being very laid back (yeah no neckties here guys). But don't fall into that trap, you're being assessed using a corporate template so make sure you 'fit in' if you want the job. Oh, and try to have some industry experience too if you can since I strongly suspect they favour it despite what they claim.
