San Diego, CAPosted Dec 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer role and ran into a very challenging, networking-focused technical gauntlet, finishing in a few rounds after a recruiter screen.

Recruiter screen — a discussion covering the role and compensation expectations.
Project director interview — focused on the specific role with no technical questions.
Technical interview (panel of senior engineers) — deep questioning on networking fundamentals (including OSPF/BGP), plus detailed troubleshooting-style items like ARP behavior and address table capacity.
Onsite technical (hands-on fault finding) — three laptops connected to network hardware; I had to identify the fault across six quick rounds while the configuration was actively broken. I answered 5/6
