Process was slow but they communicated well. Two virtual technical rounds, first was SQL and schema design with indexing, second was cloud concepts where I had to describe building a multi region cache.

I had Azure experience not AWS and I think that hurt me. OA had networking and cloud questions plus a short coding component. Technical interview covered AWS services, VPC architecture and IAM.

They wanted OpenShift or IBM Cloud experience and I've mostly used GCP, I think that hurt me. Recruiter screen was a 20 min phone call, then the technical interview dug into cloud architecture.

Deeper than expected for a co-op. They walk you through their actual stack during the interview. GCP and containerization questions, also service mesh architecture. Had a coding component in the screen before the round with two engineers.

Should have prepped more on the infrastructure side. Phone screen then two coding interviews, second one had virtualization questions and I clearly didn't know enough about hypervisors and VM scheduling. Not rude about it though.
