Process
I had a hiring manager round. This included a resume walkthrough, HLD, and a very simple coding question on CoderPad.
The second round was a DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) assessment for 1 hour. This involved one simple problem and one medium problem that built upon the first. The interviewer in this round kept doing something else on the side.

Netskope Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to workStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 6, 2025Pros: Good tech stack Work-life balance Remote/hybrid work model Good payCons: The current HR policies and employee benefits need improvement. At present, many employees feel disconnected from the organization, with limited opportunities to voice feedback.
- 4.0Nice People, Decent BalanceStaff Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesAugust 11, 2025Pros: - People are nice. - Work-life balance is good.Cons: Late night meetings with teams in different time zones.
- 1.0Not recommended muchStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 27, 2024Pros: AFAIK, there is no pip in the system. If you have some concerns about regular pip, here can be a safe shelter. And due to many low performers, you can shine easily with very minimum effort for work, so WLB can be great.Cons: As per no pip, there are too many unqualified engineers for their level. And almost half of Staff+ levels here are not even close to the Senior Engineer level at other companies. I really cannot believe the performance level of some Sr or above level engineers, unless they are taking multiple remote jobs with their current role.
