Does anyone know if this process holds true for the Sysadmin SRE side?

  There is no such thing as a "Sysadmin SRE" , it is just SRE. Went through it and was the same, granted i didn't make it to the on-site interviews as i screwed up on the last call after a really bad day at work.

    This is not true - there definitely are 2 SRE tracks[1] and one is more code focused and one is more operational focused. They do not tell you this while you are being screened but it is absolutely the case. 1: http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2011/11/22/caste/ http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2011/11/22/caste/

      Looking through the materials for the interview you can see that they focus on two different positions which looked a bit odd to me but i split those two into SRE and SWE looking at each of the requirements. Thanks for the link btw.

  The process itself is essentially identically whether you're on the SRE-SE or SRE-SWE track. The specific topic areas focused on will vary slightly, but the process is the same. (SE = Systems Engineering, SWE = Software Engineering. People hired from both tracks wind up doing the same work; it's mostly just about what background you're coming from.)
