Software Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
The interview process consisted of three technical rounds and one assessment. The online assessment included 10 multiple-choice questions and 2 coding questions. After the rounds, there were no prompt responses from HR regarding further steps. HR claimed a requirement for one technology, while interviewers stated they needed different technologies for the project. This resulted in a messy situation with no proper communication about requirements and no feedback after the interviews.
Questions
The first time I encountered a situation in an interview where the interviewer just said, "Start," as their first question. The question could have been framed as "Tell me about yourself," but the interviewer asked as if we were machines to "start" our introduction.

- 2.0Toxic culture in IndiaSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaDecember 11, 2020Pros: Some of the brightest minds - charred due to toxic company culture.Cons: 1. Favouritism and sycophancy are at their peak in Arista, India. You would grow only if you do "chaplusi" of an exec. 2. There is no professional growth or designation upgrade for mid-senior level folks. 3. It is only good for freshers/juniors to use as a stepping stone. 4. The nature of work, salary, and perks are mediocre. You get to work only on maintenance, bug fixing in old products, and age-old proprietary tools. 5. HR is frugal, just like the rest of Arista, India.
