I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NetApp (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Process had 4 Interviews, 1 screen and followed by 3 technical and a hiring manager interview, It was for an entry level role but the interviews were very hard. Involved leetcode questions(tree) and the final round had simple networking concepts and a very difficult coding problem not leetcode thought, round 2 had system design and multithreading coding question with more in-depth conversation on OS internals, last round was more into project discussion, a system design and a quick coding question. Hiring manager round was easy and chill.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NetApp (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026
Interview
First round was general discussion on kubernetes, current job work, asked a fan in scenario in go. DSA was asked only to explain the approach, about 2 linked list chained to a common list get intersection node without using hash
Second round was supposed to be design, but was asked managerial and behavioral type questions.
Post that over a weeks, no reply. Then update in portal.
First round is the online assessment where there will be 3 coding questions and mcqs
mcqs on core cs concepts and then the interview rounds vary based on you performance
As when it came to our campus they didn't mention the role. The provided jd mentioned there are mutliple roles
And so the rounds based on your fit to different roles
