      Software Engineer Interview

      6 Nov 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Santa Clara, CA)

      Interview

      First round was onsite. Standard questions- delete nodes of a value from a linked list, size of a given structure on 32 bit machine, one code to debug (read up about argc argv). Coding was done directly in the terminal. Second round consisted of 2 one hour interviews. At the start of the first interview, the interviewer told upfront that there would not be a second round if things didn't go well. Proceeded to make me design a stack api for a generic stack. Used a dynamic array to design it. Google for "programming paradigms stanford generic stack" for details and a youtube video. Asked questions about implementation of memcpy, memove etc. How is the free memory managed in heap? How many push/extra copy if we resize the dynamic array for storing the stack by 2x each time it becomes full? At the end of the first hour- said sorry this doesn't seem to be a good fit. Was quite shocked as I had answered all the questions OK. Did not really get a feel of what the interviewer was expecting. Seems like a stanford/cisco stronghold. Won't go so far as to say they are biased, but I got a mixed impression. Give it is shot.

      Interview

      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!

      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.
