Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso F5 (Seattle, WA) nel mese di giu 2016
Colloquio
Initially just did some phone calls with management and HR people, sounding one another out about what the others goals were. I have an interest in low level software which seems to dovetail well with F5's product line. I felt there was a good match. I'm a senior person with a lot of experience from serial and video drivers up though system management of these devices as well as lots of network experience.
Next I was invited in for a day of interviews. I generally get nervous during interviews and don't think well. I had 2 technical interviews where we chatted about goals, products experience etcetera leaving about 30 minutes for the coding questions.
After the tech interviews, I went out to lunch with the managers who initially seemed interested, but cooled as we talked. I expressed interest in low level stuff, but I think they're more interested in exporting that code to a service environment.
The next day they were good enough to call and obliquely inform me I didn't get the job because they had found a better fit with assurances that I was the right guy for F5.
I've contacted them subsequently with no reply.

The first tech question concerned parsing an algebraic expression in a string. I had about a half an hour.

Colloquio
Twice it had happened. F5 hr (first time) or third party consultants (second time) first take ctc and expected ctc over phone, then start scheduling interviews. After successfully clearing 3-4 rounds of discussions, HR will call and ask for expected ctc and try to offer less than our current ctc (not sure how they expect anyone can accept ctc less than their current ctc) and they say it is crossing our range for the role. Firstly they know their range for role and our ctc and expected ctc then why do they waste others time and energy. Second time I clearly told recruiter that schedule the discussions only if they are fine with expected ctc.
Recruit can reply to this review and can tell that my expectation is too high and unrealistic. For those people I had expected 8-10% over my current ctc.

About my current project and some hackerrank questions which need to execute and show the results

Colloquio
The first round went fair. I was asked conceptual questions around kubernetes, work wise projects. One leetcode - easy question asked - to sort the values by positive values on even index and negative values on even index keeping the relative order of the array same.
The next round went nowhere. The interviewer didn't switch on the camera. Asked fundamentals about trees, stacks(create stack with queues, create a stack structure with out using stack). I ANSWERED ALL OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH FUNDAMENTALS.
The recruiter then called to share that the panel gave a negative fit because I don't know Golang. I repeatedly asked if there was a language restriction, and there was not even one time they said there was. It is such a bummer.
