Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Raleigh, North Carolina
Process
A company recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn regarding this position. I replied with interest.
I received a call from the recruiter that briefly confirmed my experiences in relation to the position requirements. We then scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager a couple of days later.
The phone interview with the hiring manager was a discussion about the opportunity and how my skills might be a good fit. We scheduled an in-person interview a couple of days later.

NetApp Work Experiences
- 4.0Good work-life balanceSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeWaltham, Massachusetts, United StatesMarch 26, 2021Pros: Very good work-life balance.Cons: Lack of growth opportunity.
- 3.0Sr Software EngineerSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBoulder, Colorado, United StatesNovember 28, 2017Pros: 1. Enterprise storage is a very interesting space in the systems software world. 2. NetApp is very successful in that space. 3. Mostly sane work-life balance.Cons: 1. In my group (the ex-Solidfire distributed block storage product), it was very difficult to get the equipment needed to effectively test the system at customer scale. This resulted in worker frustration and serious availability and scalability issues with the product. (This seems to be a problem throughout the enterprise storage industry - for some reason there is plenty of money to hire people but limited money to get them the equipment needed to do their jobs.) In my group, the vast majority of status meeting time was spent discussing the allocation of scarce development and testing resources.
- 4.0Tough Interviews, But Good PaySenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaMarch 13, 2017Pros: The interview standard is very tough. They cover all areas of Storage, OS, Protocol, and Automation skills. At least 3-4 technical interviews happen with different interviewers, so there are lots of rounds, and you need to keep patience, as we at NetApp pay very well to deserving candidates. But the work...Cons: Lots of Interview Rounds Interviewers are not friendly. Attitude towards contractors is not good.
