I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Nutanix
Interview
I passed the online coding challenge and 2 technical interviews. Then, a short final phone call was scheduled with the hiring manager before we could proceed to the offer stage. However, I was rejected before even having this call due to apparent miscommunication between the team I interviewed with and the manager. Recruiter was nice so I was set up with a different team and had a 20 minute call with that hiring manager which he was 15 minutes late to. I waited weeks until I was rejected again. Recruiter then set me up with another team and at this point I was required to do another technical round of interviews. It went fairly well but I ended up rejected once again. To sum up, I was strung along interview after interview for about 3 months and ended up with nothing.
