I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Equinix (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interviewers dd not focus on what skills I possess, projects I had worked, achievements and challenges, etc., Instead, focused hypothetical subjects. Had good conversation over phone with hiring manager. Few members in the interview panel spent most time listing their work and achievements.

Question 1
Hiring manager interview:
Introduction, Asked many domain knowledge about network, routers, OSI models, past projects.
Negative experience with an interviewer being very sarcastic and impolite. Interview questions were relatively easy with a focus on Java basics and data structure. I had to ask to repeat the questions a few times since the interviewers were struggling to speak English.
