Hey everyone, I recently completed my initial round of interviews for the SRE-SE role at Google India, but I haven't received any feedback yet. I'm curious about how long it usually takes to hear back after this first round. If I do progress further, what can I anticipate during the Linux internals and troubleshooting interviews? How challenging are those usually? Thanks!

Hey there! From my experience, Google usually takes about 1-2 weeks to get back to candidates after the first interview. However, it can take longer depending on their hiring volume. Don’t panic if you don’t hear back right away; it doesn't necessarily mean something went wrong.
As for the Linux internals and troubleshooting rounds, you can expect tough technical questions that dive into your understanding of system calls, memory management, and other core concepts. They might present real-world scenarios where you need to diagnose performance issues or system crashes, so be ready for some tricky problems. It's really about how you approach the problem rather than just knowing the textbook definitions. Good luck!
Thanks for this info! I was worried since I haven’t heard back yet. Sounds like I need to brush up on my Linux skills.
