I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Arista Networks in Sept 2022
Interview
Arista's interview process is totally flawed aimed at wasting people's time and effort.
I was contacted by a consultancy and two Coding questions were asked to me. I shared my screen and did both the questions in IntelliJ with best approach, handled all the TCs and executed all of them. Too much to my surprise the other day I received a decline mail.
When I checked with the hiring partner even they said they don't give any feedback and this is quite common for Arista to do without a reason.

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.
First round: three medium level questions from Leetcode.
Second round: how to implement a stack with generic elements; how to use gcc to debug.
Third round: the interviewer not showing up.
