Software Engineer Interview Experience - Turkey
Process
A recruiter reached out to me about the opportunity, and I wanted to give it a shot.
The first step was to complete a HackerRank test with only one question. It was easy; however, they expected a 100% score to proceed to the next step.
The first interview was with an engineer about solving classic algorithm problems over a remote machine using a terminal text editor. Examples were in C and C++, though it was not expected to be great at the syntax. They cared more about how you approached the problem and your algorithm.
The second interview was similar to the first one but with a harder problem. The only difference was that you were allowed to use whatever language you were comfortable with.
The third interview was with the manager, but it was still a technical round and also about solving another problem.
All the interviewers in the process were helpful and kind. Everything went smoothly and professionally.
I really liked interviewing using tmux. To me, it reflects how much thought and effort they put into the hiring process.
Questions were medium/hard but not unsolvable in the given time, so they were nicely selected.

Arista Networks Work Experiences
- 5.0I feel valued as an employeeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Leinster, IrelandJanuary 31, 2024Pros: Great environment. Great work-life balance. Good income.Cons: Do you feel imposter syndrome often?
- 4.0Great future for both employees and the companySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaMarch 31, 2017Pros: You learn early on about "Arista culture": everybody can contribute everywhere they feel capable. You are also encouraged to initiate direct contact with the right people in the company to get input on problems you're working on (and there are a lot of really smart people). There is no more than the bare minimum of hierarchy or bureaucracy to deal with. There are separate teams, but you aren't limited to working on one thing (other than by your available time). You are encouraged to move around to different projects as you learn more and interests change. Your performance is evaluated primarily by your peers, using a nerdy data-driven approach, while managers provide sober second thought. The company itself is doing great things and poised for greater still. It delivers a product people love in an industry that's growing like crazy, and equity compensation gives you a stake in it.Cons: The Burnaby office location is not the greatest for taking transit to work. Software is largely written in an arcane proprietary TACC language, which has some technical advantages but is mostly used for historical reasons or inertia. The codebase is managed by Perforce, which makes tracking history and making small, nimble changes a chore—though there are ongoing efforts to improve developer tooling, including Git integration.
