Spoke to the director by phone after applying online. Basic questions about job history were asked.

Went to Arista for face-to-face interviews.

Questions covered:

• Coding
• Hardware data sheet interpretation
• Detailed description of current company role

I was asked some C questions related to memory management (malloc) and bit setting.

I was quite taken aback when the interviewer laughed at me in front of everyone. I took it in my stride and continued working on the problem. He was not a very good ambassador for his company.

They give you a data sheet and ask you to work out commands to be entered.
