Process
I got this interview through a recruiter.
This is the online test quiz that Pure Storage gave me before the phone interview.
After completing the online test, I had a phone interview with the company. The content of the phone interview is already described on Glassdoor.com by another person who interviewed with Pure Storage.
Even though I thought I did well on the phone interview, I was not offered an on-site interview.
