I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Nutanix (Amsterdam) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applying for the position was clear and simple. I got a quick response for an interview with the recruiter by telephone. The interview went fine, received good information about the company and the position. Also the second telephone interview with the director was positive, and I received a invitation for the next interview on site.
After being well informed about this interview, I had to give 2 presentations. Afterwards I got some technical related questions, discussed other not technical skills and questions about career goals. The people from Nutanix were good prepared and the setting and atmosphere of this interview was very pleasant!
Already the next day I got the feedback that the result of the last interview was positive, and that Nutanix want to send me an offer for the position.
This part of the procedure also went smooth, and as you expect from a modern company, this also went completely digital.
