Applied through Stack Overflow. The process involved two Skype interviews, with some coding conducted over SSH. Ensure you are comfortable using basic SSH, Vim, and GCC/GDB from the command line.

Following this, there was a brief onsite interview in Dublin, after which I was rejected on the spot.

The technical questions were simple, and knowledge of networking was not required. I believe I performed well in this area. However, the company places significant importance on your CV and references, which I suspect was the reason for my rejection.

The interviewers were pleasant. At least I got to visit Dublin for free, and it seems like a good place to work.

Arista occupies one floor of a building there. Google, Facebook, and Amazon all have their European headquarters nearby.

Review in C:

implementation of:

• strcmp
• linked list (remember that you need ** for some operations)
• BST
• C++-like templates in C with void* and memcpy
