I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
I applied online through linkedIn and the recruiter contacted me within a week.
The recuiter scheduled a 30 minute call at first, to discuss the role and the company.
That call was followed by an online 1 hour interview. They asked me questions on DS, OS and C++ (interview was on coderpad). They were mostly interested in how much in depth knowlegde I have.
That was followed by 2 1 hour interviews, back to back. In the first hour, I met a hiring manager. they asked me to login into their VM and write code on vim and then debug and issue in printf, using GDB,
after the first hour, they told me they were looking for something else.
The wierd part of this process was the contrast bitween the theme of first and second interview,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to implement a stack that can hold and data type. as I went along, they updated their requirements a buch of times, may be to see how can I improvise.
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.

Second round: how to implement a stack with generic elements; how to use gcc to debug.
Third round: the interviewer not showing up.
