Nothing really, I came onsite prepared with several solutions for the take home questions they gave me, the questions were fair, straightforward, no stupid questions like "how many golf balls can fit in a school bus" bla-blah. They are looking for code efficiency and how you attack a problem... It's was an SRE role, I was expecting they would also ask more about infrastructure and engineering, Servers , Tuning, Storage, SAN/LUN/NAS, Computer Networking, troubleshooting, etc. but none came...
