Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Arista Networks (Burnaby, BC) nel mese di mag 2018

After sent the application, the HR contacted me and scheduled a 1hr onsite technical interview. The interview comprised several short-answer questions related to stack, memory address, and pointer, an inclusive one C programming task which was about linked-list. I had to use vim and gdb to edit, compile and debug my code. At last, there was a sequence of test cases which you have to pass all of them ideally. However, the interviewer said this position was open for all levels software developer, and it was a fierce competition.

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
