F5 Networks Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at F5 Networks in March 2017.

Interview

I got employee referral by networking in February and had two rounds of phone/video interviews in early March. The interview was less focused on algorithm/data structure questions than other technical interviews. They asked about my past experience and resume during the interview, and not much about writing code for algorithm questions. Two weeks later the HR called me to offer the position.

Interview

Recruiter and VP were a pleasure to talk with. Very responsive and great to discuss the opportunity with. Final technical interview was with Chief Architect...

Could tell from the get go that he did not prepare for the interview. Position was for cloud technologies but no questions related to position were asked. Continually interrupted and asked completely different questions as I was providing a solution to the original question. Once I was able to provide the solution, he asked why made an assumption. I had to explain that we agreed on these assumptions in the beginning... Could tell that I did not fit the "cultural" person he wanted (clone like him).

Overall, the recruiter and VP were great and represented the company very well. Unfortunately, would not accept a position where such an unprofessional individual would have that much input on the team. Fortunately, they didn't extend one.

In a total of 4 weeks I had send 4 mails with no reply from the recruiter and then later just an automated mail that i wasn't selected for the next round.

Interview

Was contacted by email initially by recruiter to set up a time to talk. Scheduled a meeting and discussed position and other possibilities I might fit the recs for. Set up a phone interview with group manager and had a 45 minute conversation again about the position and what I was desiring from the position. A few days later received another email requesting an in person panel interview. The panel consisted of 4 employees from director to manager. The interview was very friendly and the panel was enjoyable to talk to.

Interview

Applied online and was requested a phone interview. If phone interview goes well, they will invite you on-site. You will have to bring yourself on-site. You will interview with 5 different people. The on-site interview is normal like every other company. They ask about resume and behavioral questions.

Be prepared to feel rushed. It seemed like everyone was late and wanted to get out of the interview as quick as possible. If you don't get the job, don't expect to be contacted back. They don't send rejection letters even if you interviewed on-site.

On a good note, they provide you with a lunch.

Interview Questions

Interview

The first phase was a phone interview with a tech person. The person on the phone was pretty aggressive/curt. I got the feeling that the working environment would be unnecessarily stressful because of the atmosphere. They were going to bring me on-site for more testing, but I opted out of the interview process after that.

Interview

Contacted via consulting recruiter and had an interview scheduled within 24 hours for a week out. Reception was aware of my interview, easy checkin process and was offered refreshment and told where facilities were located. Interviewer was on time and had a room reserved, also offered refreshments etc. Overall good rapport and a good interview. Initiated my own follow up as communication seemed a bit confusing due to the 3rd party involvement. I didn't receive an offer for this role due to some technical skill alignment but hope to be kept in mind for future opportunities.
