Guidelines Promised Three Rounds, Got Two Algorithm Interviews Instead

The phone screen just asked a few casual questions, then they sent an OA on HackerRank — 3 questions, an hour and a half total. After I finished it I got the interview, and what was pretty ridiculous is that the guidelines they sent and what the actual interview turned out to be were completely different. The intro said 3 rounds: one coding round, one "Advanced problem-solving coding" round, and…

Nutanix Software Engineer interview experience: graph states and C++ debugging

I had a compact two-round process that was intense but fair. The first round lasted roughly 35 minutes and combined problem solving with debugging. I worked on a graph prompt that began simply and gained constraints and state transitions, so choosing the right state representation and keeping the solution efficient mattered. That round also included debugging a multi-page C++ linked-list program,…

Nutanix Account Executive interview: recruiter-led offer discussion

I started with a clear, professional exploratory call with a recruiter. Soon after, I spoke with the sales manager who would have been my direct boss and then the country leader. The recruiter followed up to say the process had been positive and discussed what an offer and the next steps would likely look like. That follow-through made the direction of the process much clearer. Leadership was inv…

Site Reliability Engineer interview at Nutanix: interview experience

The technical interview was grounded in SRE essentials. I was asked about Linux commands, virtualization, operating-system and computer-network concepts, as well as my resume and projects. The questions kept returning to core computing knowledge rather than anything flashy. The overall difficulty felt average, but it still tested whether my knowledge was solid. I made some mistakes because I was…

Nutanix Account Executive interview: clear recruiter, manager and country-manager process

I started with a recruiter interview that felt professional and easy to talk through. The recruiter explained what they would focus on and encouraged me to understand the company background so I could speak about it in context. The process then continued with the hiring manager and a higher country-level manager, with prompt updates and feedback. The format was clear, so I did not spend time wond…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
