Site Engineer Interview Questions

"The interview for a position as a site engineer will consist of questions about your technical knowledge of civil engineering and construction, experience with supervising different types of sites, and your attention to detail. Employers will want you to have a degree in engineering or a construction-related discipline."

6,903 site engineer interview questions shared by candidates

There were two rounds: - Coding - System Design Coding - Mildly positive experience: - Had to write a working code to solve that problem and the questions go around the algorithms, optimizations etc. I think the expectation of coding on par with the developer is a bit too much for an SRE. SREs scripts to automate around the production/infrastructure stability, provisioning, deployments and probe tools. So IMHO the questions should be around that, not on how do you design and code an application, that too which has algorithms/data-structures such as trees/maps. Although I managed to write a working code. System Design - Positive experience: - Mostly from one of the common/widely-used distributed system (Ex: TinyURL, Whatsapp etc.), you need to design that. This one went well for me. Recruiter Response - very negative experience: Two weeks past the interview process, have asked for updates from the recruiter. But no response yet. Total 4 weeks as of now no updates, which is bad, even if it is a rejection, Recruiter should inform the candidate.

While walking through the employment history, these were the common questions that came up: - How would co-worker/manager X at company Y rate you on a scale of 1 to 10, and explain? - What would co-worker/manager X at company Y say was your greatest strength? And what might be something they would say you could improve upon? There were also several competency questions on the subject of reliability that I don't remember anymore.
