Candidate-reported interview process
The first round had coding and aptitude questions, and the coding part wasn't too hard. After the first round, there were 2 technical interviews, 1 managerial interview, and 1 HR interview. The package offered was 12 lakhs. The whole process was finished in a single day. They hired about 2 or 3 people from our college, I'm not sure of the exact number.
It started with an HR Round, followed by a basic technical question. The next round was a 45-minute telephonic interview, focusing on L4 and L5 levels. They asked some analytical questions covering topics like DNS, DHCP, and STP. There was also a question on how to swap 2 numbers without using any module.
Had 4 phone interviews followed by an on-site interview. The process is entirely idiotic. I had 4 phone interviews before the on-site. And all the four people did a video conference at their Boston office since the position was in Santa Clara. Overall, the interview was easy and I have done pretty well.
