I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nutanix (Amsterdam) in May 2019
Interview
All my interviews were via video calls since I'm not from the country where the position is, which was highly appreciated!
The process wasn't easy but they don't expect you to know everything.
I was stressed before the last interview since it's 3 hours, but everyone was very kind and professional with a sense of humor. they made me feel very comfortable
1) Initially I was contacted by the recruiter, she provided a brief explanation about the company & culture and asked a basic technical question. she was very nice and informative.
2) I had a 30-40 min video call with a SRE for a first technical round, Networking & Virtualization.
3) I had a 3 hours video call interview which consisted of 3 rounds
first round: the hiring manager (non technical)
second round: 3 senior SRE's - questions about Nutanix solution and I/O path, Networking and Linux .
third round: 2 senior SRE's - questions about Virtualization, Nutanix and storage.
after the third round the hiring manager came back to update me about the next step and when to expect an answer.
Two days later I got a call with an offer.
