I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nutanix (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone screens (with collabedit) followed by onsite. The process was riddled with delays right from the start as the recruiter was not very responsive. I applied because the company is on the verge of an IPO, and there is money to be made. Plus they seem to be doing reasonably well in terms of sales.
The interview questions were extremely simple. Nothing complicated, the standard, binary tree, string processing type of questions anyone with some interview preparation should be able to solve without much thinking. I think the cultural fit is more of an issue. They talk a lot about how they will take down the bigger companies which gets tiresome beyond a point, so take this as a cue to show your enthusiasm. Also, looks like they have hired too many folks already for the calendar year and have frozen their head count. So even if you get selected, expect to have a joining date after a few months or maybe after their IPO ?? If you don't get selected you most likely won't hear from the recruiter because they are too busy talking to prospective candidates about how awesome they are.
In short, the core storage side of this company should be an exciting place to work. I wouldn't recommend the manageability area as it seems below average. Plus their over hiring and then head count freeze doesn't give a good overall impression of their vision or direction.
Interview was pretty straightforward and direct. I had an online assesement, and then there is a recruiter screen and three rounds of onsite technical interview. The recruiter screen was just about getting to know yours goals and interest
They sent me an email saying I'm "part of the very first group of candidates being considered for our brand‑new Vancouver office". I sent two follow-ups and never received a response. Three weeks later, they sent me a rejection email without even giving me that initial interview they said they would.
This is the first round and it was a coding round. They asked two questions in hacker rank and an interviewer was there. Interviewer asked about the approach initially and they also gave hints when stuck.
