I was initially contacted by the recruiter in December.

During the initial phone call, I was asked to tell something about myself and how I related to the position, which I did. I was informed the next day about a technical phone screen with the Team Lead, scheduled for 5-6 days later.

During that call, I was asked basic questions related to the four pillars of Nutanix: Linux, Virtualization, Storage, and Networking. Some scenario-based questions were also included.

Finally, I was invited for an onsite interview at the Durham office (which, by the way, is quite awesome). The interview consisted of two rounds:

• One with two engineers, covering questions related to the same four topics as the phone screen.
• One with the Worldwide Manager (who is also the mastermind of the program), focusing on behavioral questions.

Overall, it was a very convenient process. Everyone was considerate of my availability for interviews, even conveniently changing the time of an important call because I was stuck in a storm.
