Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Arista Networks nel mese di lug 2019
Colloquio
Talked briefly about background and experience, then moved straight on to technical questions.
Required me to ssh into Arista's servers and code using a terminal text editor such as Vim.
I was given a preliminary exercise as a warm up. It involved reading some code and figuring out what the output would be.
I was given a few topics to choose from. I chose BST and palindromes. All the questions were done in C.
The interviewer was very friendly and gave me a hint whenever I was stuck on a problem.
The whole interview took over an hour.
In the end, I was told that I did well, but not good enough to proceed to the next round.

Domanda 1
Given a bunch of printf statements and a char *, figure out what would be printed.

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
