3,940 ops interview questions shared by candidates

Take home 1: Analyze this data and write a 3 page memo. (Data is a messy excel of several hundred thousand lines of data; kept crashing my computer). Follow-up interview: Why did you do X? If Y were true, what would you have then done? Take home 2: Solve this business problem we're facing and write a 7-10 page "working backwards document" -- this should include images of the product solution you are proposing. Follow-up interview: How did you approach it? Why did you do X? If Y were true, how would that change your approach? In addition to what you listed, what other metrics would you measure and why to track success and prevent any negative impacts? Behavioral Interview - Tell me about a time you found a bug in a system and what you did about it. CEO Interview - Various questions challenging the logic of your take home exercises. (He sent ahead 3 questions to help you prepare, but then didn't ask any of those.)

What is your management style. What is ripe.net and have you handled ip address provisioning before - if so how. What do you do to investigate issues where an email is not being sent. Have you used SRM and what is it. bit of a mixed bag. Ultimately the repetition of questions around VMWare, Email and other technical areas became waring and I think my gradually shorter answers led to me not getting the role.
