“What does your OC rotation look like? If you get paged after hours, what actions do you take to ensure it doesn’t happen again?” This is my favorite question

This is my favorite question since it isn’t something you can generally lie about.
- muttled 4y agoAsking to see the pager log can be quite revealing as well. I worked at an MSP where you could expect 1-5 pages per night while on-call. It was definitely hidden during the interview process and I bet they never would have been able to hire anyone if that information was revealed.
- usrme 4y agoI was actually recently discouraged from applying to GitLab after seeing their public on-call weekly reliability newsletter[1]. I've been on-call in all of my positions, but the level of incidents they seem to go through in a week seems like it would be very stressful. This isn't to throw shade on GitLab though, I absolutely adore what they do and use it on a daily basis <3 --- [1]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/reliability/-/issues/15954#incident-issues https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/reliability/-/issues/...
