I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Arista Networks in Sep 2022
Interview
Arista's interview process is totally flawed aimed at wasting people's time and effort.
I was contacted by a consultancy and two Coding questions were asked to me. I shared my screen and did both the questions in IntelliJ with best approach, handled all the TCs and executed all of them. Too much to my surprise the other day I received a decline mail.
When I checked with the hiring partner even they said they don't give any feedback and this is quite common for Arista to do without a reason.

Interview
Had a 15 minute chat with the HR person, she started off by saying, "by dissecting my resume, she did not think I was a good fit for the role and would not move me forward. Then why did she setup the meeting?! Absolute waste of time. She went on to say because I did not want to relocate right away, interviewing with the hiring team was not possible. The job description said REMOTE!

Interview
basics of c printfs. The patterns used in clg days was a bit confusing for a 15 yrs exp person like me. Dont know if its of any use on daily work as a SDE. Then BST programs 30mins 3 programs. Had written 2 and half and its correct for sure. Did ask for 5 extra mins to complete. But was denied.
Keep strong in basics and expect interviewer a SE asian to be strict on time. I thought i would be in for 2nd given i answered most of them. But was rejected.
