Process
It starts with phone and remote programming challenges. If you're good, they invite you for technical and HR on-site interviews.
The on-site interviews were not 1:1s but with a team of two interviewers. If they wanted to move fast, you could expect an HR interview on the same day, which, needless to say, can be tiresome.
Overall, the people are nice and professional, and the interviews are focused.
Definitely a positive experience.
Questions
You get a description of a 'system' and need to propose a design.
Specifically, you'll talk about concrete technologies you would use and the tradeoffs you anticipate making. They may add additional constraints like 'must be horizontally scalable on commodity hardware,' etc.

F5 Work Experiences
- 3.0Culture was good, degrading day by daySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaNovember 3, 2025Pros: - Good salary for freshers and new hires - Very good work-life balance - Plenty of leaves - Free lunch and snacks - People are goodCons: - Legacy tech stacks - No learning and growth - No career progression - No merit-based promotion; you need to complete a certain number of years to get promoted, no matter how well you have performed over the year. - Frequently changing policies are no longer employee-centric (like shifting the quarterly bonus to annually). - Managers play games, but you won't notice. They are well-trained to manipulate employees diplomatically. - Frequent layoffs (includes high performers too). - Plenty of leaves, but people are not taking them. Management should motivate employees to take time off. - People showing off their work by being active on Teams and Git on weekends and during late nights (honestly, we don't have that much work). - Managers expecting (though not forcing) everyone to join late-night meetings (even if they are optional).
