I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Arista Networks
Interview
DSA Qns, Graph backtracking/dfs/bfs - Friends of friends will be given as an input, like adjacency list, you need to check if you can reach 2 friends using mutuals, interviewer asked which bfs or dfs would be efficient and told to code in bfs. I was only able to write pseudocode, as he didnt want to proceed in backtracking method and wanted optimization, looks like he expected a working code, which I couldnt do. Design question where the answer would be store the data in binary, 45mins total interview time.

I interviewed at Arista Networks (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
one interview, went over resume then a coding question. interviewer was very chill, talked about company and what his team did, and most questions were just off my resume and the points i had on there. that was for like 30 mins before we did a pretty easy coding question
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about yourself, questions off resume points, then a string question
Interviewer was incredibly rude and disrespectful. He would make small comments like "Off to a rough start" or "This should come easy" whenever I was slightly stumped on a question. Horrible experience.
The Interview was based on deep networking questions. One has to work deep in networking to perform well in interview. Should have worked in deeper or hardcode level networking to clear the interview
