I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2024
Interview
Was reached out by HR on Linkedin for this role. HR was polite and gave an overview about the role and hiring process. They were quite accommodating with scheduling the coding round giving some time for prep. The coding round was conducted by 1 senior engineer. Gave overview about different arista product teams and nature of work. Then was asked to login to coderpad. There was a problem to find the issue in a C program. Then a second question related to linked lists. The interviewer was polite and provided prompts/suggestions when stuck in coding.
Had an overall positive experience. Would definitely recommend to apply here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. What will be the output of the following program? find the bug here and then some follow up questions with more code changes.
#define BUFFER_LEN 5
struct bufferT buffer {
int buffer[BUFFER_LEN];
int index;
};
int main(void)
{
struct bufferT bufferObj;
for (bufferObj.index = 0; bufferObj.index <= BUFFER_LEN; bufferObj.index++)
{
bufferObj.buffer[bufferObj.index] = 0;
}
printf("buffer value = %d\n", bufferObj.buffer[0]);
return 0;
}
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
I interviewed at Arista Networks (Warsaw, Masovia)
Interview
By now I have had only first interview, that was focused on pure DSA. Despite that I would already recommend checking out gdb, cause it came in handy in my case.
