I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Recruiter call.
Phone Screen - 30 mins coding, 30 mins design (make sure you code quickly and that your code runs).
Virtual Onsite - 5 rounds scheduled, only made it through 2.
1. Design - I had a super rude interviewer. Got irritated when I asked clarifying questions about the requirements (his favorite response was "how does it impact your design"). Also was arrogant about his own knowledge "do you know how A actually works".
2. Coding - Can't reveal the question because of NDA but make sure you have your IDE setup along with all the dev tools you need because you wont be using CodeSignal (despite what the recruiter says). I had to spend 5-10 mins setting up the dev tools which ate into the implementation time.

Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Verkada
Starting with a brief introduction, then ask a leetcode-like question, involving uniformly distributed indexes of 2D matrix. Also ask a tiny design question. The interviewer was great and friendly, and super helpful

Applied online and got recruiter's reply to schedule for the first call. The recruiter didn't show at the very first interview and didn't respond to the email. Extremely unprofessional behavoir. -- It turns out my email was at the spam and we connected later.
