Summary
I interviewed for an MTS position at Nutanix and was selected, but unfortunately, the offer was rescinded due to company layoffs and cost cutting measures.
Full Experience
I interviewed for the MTS role at Nutanix, which consisted of four rounds.
Round 1: Coding
This round focused on coding, and I was given a problem: Minimum Insertion Steps to Make a String Palindrome. I successfully solved it using dynamic programming.
Round 2: Coding
The second coding round involved the problem Subarray Sum Equals K. There was also another math-related question, but I don't recall the specifics.
Round 3: Low-Level Design (LLD)
In this round, I was asked to write code demonstrating how the malloc() function works, focusing on memory allocation and management. I felt this round went acceptably.
Round 4: Technical Managerial Round
The final round was a technical managerial discussion. I was asked to code a solution for the Multiple Reader, Writer synchronization problem and also to implement deleting the Nth node from a Linked List. The interviewer emphasized code functionality and modularity.
Verdict:
I was selected for the role, with a base salary of 26 Lakhs and 28 Lakhs in RSU split over 4 years. However, due to company-wide cost cutting and layoffs, I sadly did not receive an offer letter. Despite the outcome, I believe everything happens for a reason, and I'm ready to continue my job search.
