I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cohesity (Bengaluru) in Oct 2015
Interview
MTS for Windows team. Two telephonic rounds one was from US team. Both are coding test where we have to code via collabedit. Interviewers are just giving the questions and running away from the interview saying want to go for a meeting or so. Sometimes they will ask questions and will ask us to send code after interview.

Interview
Applied online, got an interview.
Phone interview auestion on k'th largest element in an array. Solved it in a few different ways. The interviewer was looking for a specific answer (partitioning) and didn't know his big O. I explained to him that bceause my solution using heaps was asymptotically superior cuz it's O(nlogn) but he was under the impression that partitioning has a worst case complexity of O(n) (it's O(n^2). He probably rote learned the solution on some website seemed like he was referring to it during the interview.
I asked the interviewer a few questions on their business model and got vague, generic answers, which was another put off.
Yet another thing to note is that the interviewer was sitting in a public area. Not that it's a big deal but was I kinda annoyed while he was talking with people moving about him. Expect the interview to be taken with some decorum. Overall the quality of the interview didn't indicate a company worth working for. I'd rather not work with such people. I'm really glad didn't move ahead.
