Rubrik

The first round was a coding interview, and you could use the language of your choice. The focus was on implementing low-level distributed systems and having a discussion on the same. There was also a shadow on the interview panel to help with that.

I interviewed with Rubrik in August 2020. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and scheduled the first screening round. He told me that it would be based on concurrency programming, so I took about a week to brush up on multithreading concepts.
