I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NetApp (South Goa) in Oct 2019
Interview
NetApp visited BITS Pilani looking for Interns from ME CS. Written Test followed by two technical interviews and HR.
Written Test consists of three coding questions in 50 mins and 30 MCQs in 30 min. Coding questions are-
1) How many ways currency can be created from given denominations
2) Coding question related to Huffman Coding
3) Don't remember
MCQs were on OS,Networking, Aptitude and I/O questions.
I felt questions easy
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1:
Tell me about yourself.
->Asked a question on multi threading trying to get locks on two resources and asked what issue do you see? Ans- Deadlock. Then asked how will you avoid deadlock, gave answer through Banker's algo, but he was not satisfied looking for some solution which doesn't rely on OS.
->Write program on how to find maximum in given list of integers and then asked to give extreme test cases. Interviewer was a very experienced person, he asked what are your hobbies, I am part of a department in College for which I do event management. What all languages you know?
He also asked me to ask questions from him- Asked him what all positions are there for which he is recruiting intern. Feedback of my interview and where should I work
Round 2:
What all are the functions of OS? Answered that then he asked what happens if one process writes in address space of other.
->What is memory leakage?
->Difference between malloc and calloc
->Different memory allocations used in a program
->Write program to find sub-string in given string which is palindrome, questions on code written
->Questions related to previous work experience
-> Any questions for us
HR:
->How do you like the NetApp selection process, give feedback(if any)
-> Why do you want to work in NetApp
->Questions related to work experience
->Why are you doing Mtech after doing job?
->Any questions for us-Asked what does they expect when we join them in Summer for internship.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at NetApp (Bengaluru)
Interview
I got into 3 rounds and all of them were virtual
1) assesment which has a duration of about 1 hr 45 minutes where I got 30 MCQs and 3 Coding questions
2) it was an one-on-one interview where the interviewer asked about my resume and asked me to solve about 3 coding questions regarding strings
3) the final round was managerial round , he asked a lot about my resume and the projects I have done so far.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Solving 3 coding questions in one on one interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NetApp (Bengaluru) in Apr 2025
Interview
My interview experience at NetApp was underwhelming, to say the least. Despite presenting a polished and organized scheduling process on the surface, the underlying attitude toward candidates was far from respectful or flexible.
The interviews themselves were heavily syntax-focused. In Round 1, I was asked to solve DSA problems in Python, even though I primarily code in C++. There was no interest in testing problem-solving or logical skills—only whether I could recall Python syntax. Round 2 involved coding React components, again purely checking for syntax familiarity without any depth or evaluation of architectural thinking or real-world application skills.
What disappointed me more was the scheduling rigidity. Even after I communicated that I had important meetings, I was called in the morning to schedule interviews for the same afternoon. I was told bluntly that if I wasn’t available, I’d be dropped from the process. That level of inflexibility and lack of empathy felt extremely unprofessional. I ended up skipping key meetings just to accommodate their process.
For a company of NetApp’s stature, I expected a more thoughtful and skills-oriented interview process, along with a basic respect for candidates’ time and commitments. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t reflect that.

Question 1
write a program to develop a navigation bar in React.js.
Netapp had a long and difficult process of interviews at campus placements at IIT Bombay. Difficult questions around data structures, algos and OS were asked. You need to be really good at these in order to crack
