      Software Engineer Interview

      30 Sept 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in Sept 2013

      Interview

      There was a phone interview with the "hiring manager". This was followed by two rounds of in-person, team interviews (2-person teams). I really didn't expect a second round, as I struggled with language difficulties in the first-round interview (having grown up in the SF Bay Area, I'm a native English speaker, but neither of the gentlemen interviewing me were). The questions in the first round were very theoretical in nature. The second round came as a surprise a couple of weeks later. It started with a single person (another one for whom English was not the native tongue, although his mastery was much better). His questions were very esoteric, and communication was a bit of an issue. Half-way through the interview, we were joined by the first native English speaker. My joy was short-lived, however, as this person had the bombastic qualities of a speed-freak wanting to come off of 3-days of abstinence. My discomfort was further compunded by the fact that he sprayed spittle when he talked (I showered when I got home). His aggressive style made me feel very uncomfortable, and I had trouble focusing on the interview. In retrospect, I wish I had terminated the interview myself, since it wasn't like I needed the job.

      Question 1

      There was not a single, "normal" interview question, imho.

      Application

      I interviewed at Arista Networks (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!

      I interviewed at Arista Networks (Warsaw, Masovia)

      Interview

      By now I have had only first interview, that was focused on pure DSA. Despite that I would already recommend checking out gdb, cause it came in handy in my case.
