Process
Started with an HR call. Some HR calls screen candidates, but I'm not sure if this was a screen or not, though they asked some questions relevant to experience and the job.
Initial 45-minute technical call covering Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V.
Onsite 45-minute technical interview with the same topics as above, and a 45-minute manager interview.
Final technical interview over the phone, touching on things not covered in the first two technical interviews, supposedly based on my resume. I found some questions here a bit obscure.
Questions
Technical seemed to focus on Layer 2 networking, VLANs, and switch port types, e.g., what is a trunk port and what is an access port. This also included VMware networks and NIC configuration, as well as Linux performance troubleshooting.

Nutanix Work Experiences
- 5.0Top-notch talent and top-notch company!SRE • Current EmployeeAugust 25, 2014Pros: Nutanix offers excellent benefits and competitive pay. They hire only the best of the best, which will continue to allow innovation and enable its employees to rapidly grow their skill sets. Employees are also given the autonomy of a flexible work schedule. We are expected to get our jobs done, but no one has a set schedule. Great work/life balance.Cons: The company is still very young and relatively small. This enables Nutanix to change rapidly with the market. Work is very fast-paced, and there is not as much structure as you would find at a larger competitor. This can be good or bad, depending on the type of person.
