Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The first interviewer was very up high in the rank but was very bad at taking interviews.
He did said ask if you have anything to ask.
But when I started asking questions, he behaved very badly .
I do not remember his name. You should forget toxic people immediately.
It was shocking to me that he was Staff Engineer.

The second round of interview was the best experience I ever had.
I remember his name but for sake of confidconfidentiality, I will only tell his position. He was MTS 3.
The questions were very good and the interviewer was very soft spoken and knowledgeable.
He answered my questions and would love to see these people climb up the ladder rather than others.

I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Jan 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Question on Recursion
  • Q2. Question on iterative method
  • Q3. Question on Dynamic Programming
Round 2 - Coding Test 

There were two questions
Q1: Given a comma seperated strings starting with alphabet and numerics like:
"a11, a121, a1213, b231, ...."
Constraints:
1> Sort in O(n) time. Yes you read right. O(n) time.
2> Can not use sort or sorted or any pre written python library.
And Yes, This was Interview was for MTS - Python Automation.
Every time was going to write down some code, he wanted it to understand, cross questioned and didn't let me write anything.

Felt like he had bad evening or something.
He was Senior MTS but very bad at taking inteviews. I felt sorry for team mates that have to delt with him at daily basis. Given the fact that he was from a college from Delhi that has tainted reputation, I guess, it's understandable.

I told him that I will write the solution and then optimize it further but he told no.

Q2> Write a recursive function to open a files in a filePath directory and sub directory, with certain extension and replace a certain string with another string.

Solution: I write but he was unhappy. Argued that you can not open 2GB file and write it.
When I asked if text to be replaced can be on 2 lines then he said, May be , may be not.
At this point I understood he was there to reject me. So I expalined what I knew about solution.

Q3> If a file is on the server gets corrupted. How will you verify.
Solution: I did not remebered about MD5. And he did not provided that there will be hash as well so I was unable to answer that.
This seems very specific question without any context. And someone who has not worked on files transfer and data verification will never know in advance regardless of one's.

Q4> Test your code.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 7 months ago I cracked the Nutanix Interview for SDET and did not accept the offer because of my family problems so agitation of the interviewer may be directed.
My last experience was really good. There were knowledgeable non-toxic interviewers on my panel.

But now, in the month of Feb 2024, 2/3 interviewers I met for the Nutanix interview were just toxic. Though toxic people are everywhere and the job market is very bad right now so, they behave badly. They might be overworked. Or I might be reacting because I did not get the offer I think I deserved.

So take your chance and then decide. I just shared my experience. If you relate. Just let others know.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The exam is very easy, everything comes out from the topics that is needed for an SRE.. The MCQs are easy but and ofc in the exam hall there's the chance to cheat but it's futile.. Just complete your test asap and submit because time plays an essence too.. have confidence do it fast that's all.. As of time I couldn't move up to other round but from what I heard second round isn't that hard.. if you can clear 1st then 2nd Is somehow similar in terms a questions just a little hard to speak out because that's an interview, I'm talking about the chance that students have from college, the SRE INTERN

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
