Arista SDE 2 Interview Experience
Summary
I interviewed for an SDE 2 role at Arista and successfully received an offer after 2 rounds, which included DSA, System Design, and a discussion about my past projects.
Full Experience
Hi All,
Time to give back to the community.
YOE - 3yrs 10months Current Company - MNC (Bank) Current CTC - 21.4 LPA + 10% Variable
Got approached by recruiter on linkedin.
It was a 3 round process, DSA , System Design, HM.
Round 1 :
- Interviewer asked for the preferred language. I went ahead with java.
- 1st Question - Find number of segments whose sum is zero. Straight forward prefix sum with hashing.
- Follow Up - Modify the program so that it will work for any sum.
- 2nd Question - More on java basics. Question was where we have three different methods, one with int parameter, next with int[] parameter, lastly with an object of a class. All three methods were changing the values of the parameter. Need to figure out what will be the impact on those objects.
funA(int a) {a++} ; funB(int[] a) {a[0] = 1} ; funC(Object a) {a.value++} ;
main(){ int a = 0 ; int[] b = {0 , 1} ; Object c = new SomeClass() ; funA(a) , funB(b) , funC(c) ; print a print b print c }
above is just a psuedo code.
Got a call after 1 week for scheduling the next round which was scheduled 3 weeks later, It was an in-person interview.
This was my first in-person interview so was bit nervous.
Round 2 : We had some discussion around the my past projects and why some of the technologies were used.
Interviewer asked to design an e-commerce system. Need to do it on white board. The interview involved in-depth discussions across multiple areas.
Got a call in 2 hours that they are going ahead with the offer without the 3rd round.
Received Offer Last week: Base : 28LPA RSU - 45k USD (25% each year) Bonus - 400,000 PF+Gratuity - 2.4 LPA
Location - Pune Tech Stack - Go/Python
Total First Year Comp - 44.5 LPA
Also have couple of more offers in hand so will try to negotiate more.
