Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Arista Networks en feb 2017
Entrevista
Was contacted on LinkedIn to interview. Called twice at the gap of a month to talk about background and schedule interview. Bad planning of the interview, lots of confusion and miscommunication about the interview dates. The interviewer was very silent and did not help when the code did not work. The interview was slightly awkward because of this.

They asked the standard questions as mentioned on glassdoor. First programming question was to remove nodes from a Linked List matching a given value. Then they showed me some functions with bit operations and asked me what the functions did.

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
