I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
This was the most organized and quickest turnaround on an interview I've ever had. The interviewers were well prepared with questions, most tough ones. HR was very friendly and responsive to my requests.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about what would happen if a user misconfigured a PC's default gateway to point to another PC on a LAN instead the true gateway, a router.
First, would be an HR round where they will discuss your compensation and what we are expecting. After this, at least two technical rounds will happen and the last a manager round.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (Bengaluru) in Jul 2022
Interview
Very bad experience. The HR wasn't aware of the roles and responsibilities and skills needed for the role. Whatever questions were asked didn't even come near to my area of expertise. The interview was totally different from the job description sent to me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (Bracknell, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
Difficulty level medium. TCP and TLS are mostly which the interviewers focused.
Slow HR responses. It got me around the months for the complete process. For every round they took approx love month to schedule next round.
