Process

The interview process is very well organized. HR contacted me and explained the process and what the team is looking for in the next candidate. They went over my experience to gauge my understanding of the domain.

This was followed by a telephonic round with the manager. This round was more technical and focused on understanding why I want to work for Nutanix.

After a week, I was invited for an on-site interview. Prepare well for this round, as it will be challenging. It mostly comprises questions based on your resume and the four important pillars of Nutanix:

Storage
Linux
Networking
Virtualization

This might vary for everyone based on your experience.

All my interviewers were very understanding and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. If you clear this round, it will be followed by a telephonic call with an escalation engineer.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process and look forward to my journey at Nutanix.

Nutanix Work Experiences

Great overall place to work

Systems Reliability Engineer • Current Employee

San Jose, California, United States

Pros: Very competent and professional people from lots of areas of expertise. It's very much a place where everyone you talk to has knowledge to contribute. Fantastic benefits. Going to a new doctor is always fun, as the desk person never seems to believe when you tell them that you will owe $0 every time. Has done a pretty good job of trying to maintain humanity during growth, which is very hard for most organizations as they get large.

Cons: The culture is becoming a bit more corporate, in that people tend to become numbers. However, you can see that the higher-ups are generally aware of that and are attempting to keep that in check where possible.
