This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
FAANG-standard interview process for junior systems administrators typically consists of 7 rounds spanning 4-6 weeks. The process emphasizes technical depth in operating systems and infrastructure fundamentals, practical troubleshooting ability, system administration hands-on experience, and cultural alignment. Junior-level candidates are expected to demonstrate solid foundational knowledge, independent competency on routine infrastructure tasks with occasional guidance, and the ability to learn quickly in complex technical environments. The interview process progressively assesses technical breadth, hands-on capabilities, behavioral traits, and role fit.
