      Interview

      1. Arista HR directly approached me over LinkedIn and asked to share contact details and latest resume. 2. HR called over phone for a brief discussion. 3. F2F interview was scheduled for a mutually agreed date. 4. A senior engineer took first round of technical interview. The interviewer was helpful and gave hints whenever required. I answered most of the questions correctly except the process's memory management part. 5. I was informed that the interview is done for the day and the detailed feedback will be emailed in a 1-2 days. Clearly, I did not make it to next round.
