I was selected via an on campus placement drive. The process kicked off with a hackerrank based MCQ exam which had 60 questions of Medium difficulty on OS,Cloud, Networking, Virtualisation, Aptitude and Verbal. 22 of us were shortlisted from there for the interviews. No cutoff as such was revealed for the test.
We had 4 interviews- 2 Technical of increasing difficulty, 1 managerial which was purely Behavioural and the last was a director round interview taken by directors of Bangalore and Pune office. The first tech interview was based on basics of networking, TCP/IP layers, protocols, hardware basics and on Nutanix tech stack. They really look for people passionate about working at Nutanix so research of the products Nutanix offers is important. It is available on the website and you can simply read and understand because everyone will get a question on that. Moving on, the second interview had slightly tougher questions from OS, Networking and hardware. A few I remember are Deadlock and it's conditions, practical examples of it, difference between HDD and SDD(Which I knew being a gamer), components of a DVD, BIOS, DNS and Linux Commands.
After this 4 of us reached the Manager round and that was behavioural testing your cultural fit and willingness to work and learn at Nutanix.
2 of us moved forward to the director round. Mine was taken by Abhinav Sir and my friend's by Ashwin sir. The director Interview was really engaging and a mix of behavioral, HR and technical. The tech discussion varied from difference between 5G and 4G to what happens during a Google Search. The behavioral questions consisted of my experiences, response to situation and also how I would response to being asked for a coffee in office. He started off by asking me to put my questions in front of him. It was something new as this is usually asked at the end of interviews. It was an overall very engaging discussion. All the interviewers were very helpful,polite and you can sense them of being experts at their domain. The tech stack discussed was vast. The interviews really added Value to my own understanding and were enjoyable. They were all in 1 day but it never felt tedious or tiring at all.
