I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nutanix (Barcelona) in Jan 2023
Interview
5 step interview process. The first interview is with HR and the remaining are with different members of team/ department. After each interview, you are given feedback and clearly communicated about the following steps of the process. I thought this was great because you never felt like you were forgotten about or out of the loop. The response after interviews were very quick. I haven’t had an interview process like this anywhere else I interviewed for in the past. There is an emphasis on growth and learning and a lot of the interviewers have been with the company for 5+ years which is encouraging. Really positive interview process and I would like to see other places adopt this process of receiving informative feedback too.
