I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ThousandEyes in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview process was pretty straightforward and without any problems. First, I got a coding challenge which consisted in developing a C++ program that made use of mysql and dns libraries. The second step was a series of 3 interviews where my coding and problem-solving skills were tested, from higher-level problems (the first interview was more focused on software design) to low-level problems (the next two interviews were more C++ hardcore coding that also required some network-level knowledge).
Got an offer in the next day and that was it.
The interviewers were nice and patient, and tried to keep me relaxed through the whole process. They just want to assess if you are up to the task or not. They didn't ask any of those puzzle questions either.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some questions were more low-level and required some network-related knowledge (eg, network and bit masks, etc)
I found the question fair but challenging. While I understood the fundamentals, my lack of experience with certain advanced techniques kept me from fully passing. I'll focus on refining these areas to improve my performance in the future. Thank you for the opportunity.

Interview
Initial Leetcode - style Interview followed by on site
On site consisted of another coding round, systems design, and behavioral. I was not in the right headspace and did poorly on the first coding round. They allowed me to schedule one more coding round to "make up" for my first failing (despite passing through the initial coding round). The "make up" round was an extremely vague question with no example inputs/outputs and despite trying to communicate with the interviewer on the question, he told me another requirement of the problem which completely changed how I would have designed the solution 5 minutes before the end of the interview.

Question 1
Due to the NDA, I will keep it vague.
Leetcode Hard graph problem (Djikstra's but with some tweaks)
A fairly regular software engineer interview process. The first call was with the recruiter. After that, there was a technical round with one of the developers. The response time was also quick.

set(key, value)
get(key)
last()
delete(key)
