Pure Storage Interview Questions

1 OA (I assume this is a candidate filter), 1 HR screening round that serves as a personality check, 4 technical interviews + 1 tie breaker technical interview. Last interview was difficult and I didn't pass.

No feedback given. No one directly reached out. Not sure how the entire process work but for interns it typically starts with an online HackerRank assessment and a first round technical interview.

I had to go through something like 4-5 rounds and interview with the hiring manager 3 times, which seemed excessive. In fact she didn't even have much to talk about it, no real agenda. I later found out through someone at the company that everyone on the interview panel wanted me but that the HM wanted to hire a friend of hers from another company. So they basically wasted my time and in the end the HM hired her friend.

Usually I don’t put comments and reviews, but I feel that my experience could save someone lots of time. The interview in Pure was very long for the local standards. They will brag a lot about how cool they are and so on. The reality seems to be a little different. The managers will ask you the same questions, or will use you for junior managers to practice their question asking skills. After 4+ interviews, they will ghost you for a while too. Shows the level of professionalism of their HRs. There were technical, algorithm interviews and one few interviews based on your experience and how it matches the role. I am not sure how much having many interviews ensures you attract the right people, but my suggestion is to stay away from such tedious process as much as possible. It felt like they were doing research on the job situation in Prague rather than actually recruiting for people.

Super long interview process, sometimes seemed like people werent communicating with eachother, because at the last (fourth) interview they told me vital information needed for the job (which I could not do as an intern) and therefore could not do the job. It was a waste of everyones time at that point.

7 calls to finally get the job. Extremely long interview process. But it is worth it as Pure Storage is a great company to work for. Do not hesitate to apply

Call with recruiter followed by call with hiring followed by panel presentation. Recruiter and HM were very cool and gave a very good impression of Pure which seems like a nice place to work at. Unfortunately at the panel the people seemed unprepared and didn’t know what the task was. The person asking technical questions was asking questions not relevant to the role and more relevant to his own background.

Not sure if I can say much about the interview process as I only had the first initial call. However, my process took a long time. I was dissapointed it took 2 months after my initial call to hear any official update. I also had to be the one to reach out twice for any news on whether or not I was moving forward or not. Finally, they let me know they were looking for someone more senior. I understand there has been a high volume of candidates - especially in this difficult market. However coming from someone with a full-cycle recruiting background - candidate experience is incredibly important. Having candidates wait months to hear back any update is really saddening.

A series of rounds with the team with a final pitch to who would be your manager. Manager was very judgemental, looked me up and down with preconceived notions. Not interested in petty HS drama from the get-go. Taking an offer elsewhere.

Lengthy, but thorough. I felt that the individuals that interviewed me were passionate about the Company and environment. EDI was a focus, which particularly interested me. The process was smooth and overall professional.
