Soft Skills Interview

Systems Engineers partner with their teammates, software engineers, project managers, and other Facebookers every day. During this interview, we want to learn how you have worked in a team, deal with conflict, and overcome challenges.
For recent graduates, we’ll discuss any internships, as well as interesting academic and side projects. Unlike the technical interviews for coding, systems and design, this interview focuses on your unique experiences and approaches to solving non- technical problems.  

What we’re looking for

  • Quick “elevator pitch”, high-level descriptions of completed or in progress projects.
  • Clear descriptions of your role in the projects, who you worked with, and the challenges you faced, rather than what the specific work was.
  • Things don’t always go as planned, so think through failures you’ve encountered in the past. Share what could have been done differently and what you learned from the experience.
  • Your reasons and motivations for why you changed roles in the past and why you find Systems Engineer and the Enterprise team exciting. If you’re currently a software engineer, or other type of engineer, think through why Systems Engineering is a good fit for you.
  • Tell me about a project you feel proud of in your past or current role.
  • Tell me about a design decision you made that you later regretted.
  • Tell me about a disagreement or conflict between you and a coworker.
  • What motivates you to leave your current role?
  • Describe your ideal day at work.
  • What is your understanding of Enterprise Engineering?

Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into ...
