Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Arista Networks (Dublino, Dublino) nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
Applied through Stack Overflow, then 2 Skype interviews, with some coding over SSH. Make sure you can use basic SSH / Vim / GCC and GDB from the command line. Then a quick onsite one in Dublin, after which I was rejected on the spot.
Technical questions were simple and you're not required to know about networking, and I think I did well. But they give a lot of importance to your CV / references, which is why I was rejected.
Interviewers were nice, and at least I met Dublin for free, looks like a good place to work. Arista takes one floor of a building there. Google, Facebook and Amazon all have European headquarters nearby.
Domande di colloquio [1]

Review in C: implementation of:
- strcmp

Colloquio
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

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!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
