Hello Everyone, I have an upcoming Google interview for the role of Systems Engineer, SRE. My recruiter has told me there will be below rounds. - Scripting - Troubleshooting - Non-abstract Large Scale System Design - Googleyness and Leadership - Simplification (unix/linux) I am writing to seek guidance on what kinds of questions I can expect in the Scripting and Troubleshooting round. My recruiter has told me that in the scripting round, it will be on a practical algorithm. And I don't remember telling anything about Troubleshooting. All of these rounds will be on a Google Doc. If anyone has gone through these rounds recently, could you please share: 1. The types of questions or scenarios you were given 2. The expected level of depth 3. Any tips on preparation or resources you found helpful I’d greatly appreciate any input or direction to help me prepare effectively.
