I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2022
Interview
They asked questions dealing with pointers (dereferencing, incrementing, etc) and the next was a standard leetcode question dealing with BST's. I knew generally how to solve it, but I struggled with some edge cases which I think frazzled me. You must also be able to compile and run it in the end.
Overall polite interviewers though. It's a good thing to know how to use vim, tmux, pdb, and the cli for this interview.

Question 1

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arista Networks (Austin, TX) in Sep 2024
Interview
I had a first-round interview where we first discussed a bit about my background and later I had to program a basic leet code problem involving pointers and linked lists
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you access/keep track of a previous node in a singly linked list when iterating through the list.
Interview was standard, 1st round was just a phone call to feel out the candidate. Second round I received an easy leetcode question. The environment they had you code in was a bit tricky though, I had to code through a remote session on my terminal with vim and run and debug the file with make and gdb.
