The usual litany of stupid puzzle questions. They were also keen on things like I/O queueing strategies, handling large quantities of I/O and load balancing requests and responses. It's pretty clear they don't care about past experience though.

They asked the usual BS puzzle questions. One was the old chestnut, "Given a clock face, write an algorithm to compute the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand."
Because as we all know, this is the beating heart of tech - ordinary stuff we did in college.
Like so many valley companies this one does the pointless question circus too. If they 'like' you then it won't matter what your answer is. And if they don't, well, it won't matter what your answer is. Have a great background and lots of experience? Doesn't matter. If you're not, shall we say, like them, you won't get the pass.

Initial call with hiring manager and 2 rounds of the onsite interview of 2 hours each. I did not get the offer, I felt their process is very inefficient and glad I am rejected.

Absolutely pathetic. They ask very difficult questions and unrealistic. But expect people to join for half of the big company's salary.
I thought I did pretty well. CTO Partha Seetala is a really bad person. He has a preconceived notion about people from certain undergrad and grad schools. He thinks he is too smart but he is not actually. Its just another goofy k8s distribution company and I dont think they will do anything better in future. They might get acquired by some dumb company as we have lots of fool people here in the industry. But technical aspects wise, this company is not going anywhere. Glad that I did not get an offer. Working with that kind of CTO is aweful and I strongly encourage to look for other company if you get offer from them.
I hope they should change arrogant, oversmart, nonperforming CTO like Partha.
