Q. Most Questions were competency based. Only the phone interview (first stage) quizzed me on: -1.UNIX commands -2.About active directory -3.GPOs -4.Knowledge of programming languages. It is essential to know SQL/post gres for the role for MS SQL and Oracle. If you know how to code in DB2, fantastic!
