Process
I had an on-campus interview at my university, followed by an onsite interview at Pure Storage. The on-campus interview was a simple operating systems question. The onsite consisted of three back-to-back interviews. When I say back-to-back, I mean they didn't even allow five minutes for a break. You could go to the bathroom, but it would take from your time to solve the problem.
The questions were exactly as I expected, but I don't believe some of them assessed any real coding skills. The interview process was pleasant, aside from the unusual questions. In the end, it was not a match.
