J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Arista Networks (Burnaby, BC) en sept. 2015
Entretien
Sent a resume through email and quickly got a reply from HR asking for transcript and to set up an interview date. I interviewed on location in Burnaby, then was told immediately after that I'd passed and would be moving on to the next round. I was then scheduled for two interviews back to back but did not manage to make it to the final interview. All of the questions were technical and one interviewer asked me to code on his computer while another asked me to use a whiteboard.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Implement a function to detect if a string was a palindrome, in C.
Implement a stack API in C in such a way that the user can specify the size of the stack elements in each stack the user creates. For example the user must be able to create a stack of chars and a stack of ints using this API.

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Reached round 3 out of 4 planned, one was coding task, two live coding sessions. Linux development background was highly expected. Performance optimized approach was tested, specially oriented for hardware with lots of resources. I had a problem to properly understand reqruiting person during round 3, voice was not clear for me.

Question 1

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!
