I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2024
Interview
I'm C++ dev, YOE 15
HR contacted me via LinkedIn, it was lovely conversation. She described aspects of interview process as following:
First round: screening 1 hour live coding, second round: 2 hours ( including live coding), 3 round: behavioral.
I asked more time(1 month) for preparation as I expected typical Leetcode rounds, but HR was uncomfortable to wait for so long. So we agreed on three weeks until first round.
I had first round, which I didn't pass well. In general it was basic knowledge questions nothing extraordinary, I would say lack of enough preparation in Leetcode had detrimental effect. Although I was able to complete coding task with certain help from the interviewer, it went way slower then expected for tasks of such difficulty.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
1. Predict output of different printf() variations, like
char* str = "12345"
printf("%d", str);
printf("%d", *str);
printf("%c", str);
printf("%c", *str);
printf("%s", str);
printf("%s", *str);
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Austin, TX) in Apr 2026
Interview
basics of c printfs. The patterns used in clg days was a bit confusing for a 15 yrs exp person like me. Dont know if its of any use on daily work as a SDE. Then BST programs 30mins 3 programs. Had written 2 and half and its correct for sure. Did ask for 5 extra mins to complete. But was denied.
Keep strong in basics and expect interviewer a SE asian to be strict on time. I thought i would be in for 2nd given i answered most of them. But was rejected.
First round: three medium level questions from Leetcode.
Second round: how to implement a stack with generic elements; how to use gcc to debug.
Third round: the interviewer not showing up.
