Riverbed Technology Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – It was 6 round interview. Recruiter are really quick in setting up interview. For me 4 interviews goes well and 2, I had tough time. Pretty much standard question.

Interview Details – Interview scheduling was ok.
Face-face interviews were mainly coding, some design questions and some things asked specific to the job opening.
C programming questions are important part of the interview.
Scalability and Efficiency in code is desired in the solutions.
They take you out to lunch, which is a nice touch.
Got an offer, but it was less than market and got other better offers.

Interview Details – This interview was for one of the acquisitions that Riverbed made. I had interviews with the VP engineering, architect, a person from the product management and QA director. They gave me a very good overview of what they do and what they expect me to do.

The questions I was asked were Java, Networking because of my background in those areas. Very open discussion, they went out of their way and answered the questions I had for them. This was followed by a second round of coding interviews. I was given a set of problems and the code was expected in an hour. Very basic OOP stuff. Great experience.

Interview Details – It was at the university's career fair, and at the booth a software engineer asked me some questions, and did a coding practice in C. The day after that I received an E-mail of on-campus interview. The interview was about 45 miniutes and I wrote some codes on paper.

Interview Details – Initial phone interview consisted of simple algorithm based questions. Onsite interview consisted of 6 rounds each round dealt with different areas of software engineering. 1st and 2nd round will be programming. They will give a scenario of a network problem and ask to trouble shoot. (say the system is unable to access this URL, what is the prob? You will have to ask them questions and narrow down the problem.) Then other rounds involve testing in Operating systems concepts, giving test cases for a problem. Overall the interviewers will be friendly. The interviewers took for lunch after 3 rounds and then continued with the process after interview.

Interview Details – Applied at a career fair. Was scheduled for an interview after answering a questionaire. Interviewer was really patient and helpful.

Interview Details – I applied online for the position, they contacted in a week time and scheduled a telephone interview with two people on a conference call. They discussed my resume and asked details about my past experience. Also, some common questions like Why Riverbed etc.

Interview Details – First they do a campus screening, and then going for campus onsite the other day.
They doing a 1:1 interview and gives you a piece of paper to write down the code.

Interview Details – I was referred to this company by an employee and I was very impressed with how quickly the recruiter contacted me about setting up an interview. I had submitted my resume in the morning and by that afternoon I had already received a call from a recruiter.

I started off with a phone interview which was somewhat challenging but all of the questions asked seemed relevant to the job I was applying for and there were no curve ball questions. The phone interview lasted about an hour and most all of the questions were technical questions.

I was then contacted the very same day of my phone interview to set up an in-person interview. The in-person interview was very pleasant and consisted of four one-on-one interviews which were forty five minutes each.

The first three interviews dealt with topics such as previous work experience, networking knowledge, QA knowledge, and general PC/Mac/Linux knowledge. There were also a couple of critical thinking questions that dealt with troubleshooting network issues. The final interview dealt exclusively with programming and I was asked to write code to solve specific problems using whatever language I preferred.

Shortly after my in-person interview I was asked to come in for one final interview which involved executing a test plan using Linux.

I was then contacted the very same day of my final interview and was given an offer which I accepted.
