SETI (software engineer - tools and infra) interview

Hello, I have an onsite SETI interview at google coming up in few weeks. Can anyone give me pointers as to if the preparation should be the same as for SWE (in my mind leetcode hard problems ) or I need to concentrate on leetcode medium problems but at the same time also spend time on system testing. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks

My suggestion is not to go if you have other offers. When I interviewed with Google, the team match I got is that team. At that time, they called it as CI or something related to this… After I turned down, the HR recontacted to see if I am willing to join tools and infrastructure role. This is still an automation team. My best guess is that no one wants to join that team so they need to hire separately

I am a tester at the current place . So this is still a better bet for me . How was your interview ? For instance did all of them go well from what you could make out ?

I moved to Microsoft around 2 years ago. I am just using this account to check how my ex colleges complaining the management… Do you have any other regular sde offer? If no, take it. At least it's Google :)

Hiring bar is supposed to be same as SWE from what I’ve read.

Veritas AMSb54 Nov 18, 2018

Correct. I received the formal email from HR, but eventually, it goes to different HC

VMware hXLu11 OP Nov 19, 2018

So, meaning hiring bar is same but there is still a difference HC ?

VMware hXLu11 OP Nov 19, 2018

How about the intensity of questions ? Still the same

I also wanted to ask about choosing chrome book Vs writing on the white board. Although I prefer chrome book, I am not a touch typist and worry that my speed which is not great will come into picture when they are evaluating me
