I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Pune)
Interview
There were two technical rounds. The first round focused on basic C programming, including bug identification and a linked list program. The second round covered various areas such as data structures and algorithms, TLS, operating systems, IPCs, multi-threading, networking, and included 2-3 easy-level programming problems. I successfully coded all the problems and answered all the questions with the required diagrams. Despite this, I received a negative result, leaving me confused about the interview process and what exactly they were looking for in candidates. I requested detailed feedback but did not receive a response. I urge them to improve the process, educate their interviewers, and clarify their expectations.

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.
