I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Nutanix (Nitte) in Aug 2019
Interview
The entire process of recruitment had 4 rounds.
The first round was the online test which had multiple choice questions from topics like networking, linux troubleshooting, Operating systems and also few questions from the pre placement talk that happened before the online test. ( Pay good attention to the pre placement talk).
Shortlisted candidates after the online test were called for the face to face interview which happened the next day.
I had 3 rounds of interview. 2 technical interview and 1 HR round.
The entire process was smooth and happened without any delaying in the process.
The results were announced on the same day.
First round: OA (core CS concepts: OS, Computer Networks and Aptitude)
Technical Round 1: Questions on Resume, Scenario based questions
Technical Round 2: Weaknesses from Technical Round 1
HR Round: Company fit and culture questions

They wanted in-depth theory knowledge on virtualization concepts, Linux Commands, Operating System Concepts, Networking Concepts, etc. since their role also aligned with that. SREs will be in constant touch with clients troubleshooting issues, which require these theory fundamentals right.
