      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Arista Networks

      Interview

      Worst Experience in all of the interviews I have attended. First about me. I had graduated 4 years ago and I had quite some experience in the industry. The first round is you have to ssh into thier system and the interviewer had 2 questions for me. Some clever way of linked List printing and another clever way of tree traversal. I nailed both these questions, all the tests passed and The interviewer was all praise for me. He told me that I was to be ready for the next round, Congratulations and all. Now comes the interesting part. The second interviewer asks me to send my Degree Transcripts <wth? I'm not a fresher> Ok, I send it. My GPA at masters is 3.5/4 and my Undergrad was 8/10. He looks at those and he sends me a reject email without even interviewing me. First of all, I'm not a fresher, and if at all I'm hired, Arista gets to employ someone who obviously has more than academic knowledge. So mean people, and heavy headed people. They could have told me that there is a GPA cut off even for non-freshers so that I could have better used my time, bad interview process.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Arista Networks in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Pros: Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework. Cons: A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves. Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

      Question 2

      I interviewed at Arista Networks (Vancouver, BC)

      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!

      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
