Quite technical. Very little chitchat, which is fine. The interview was mostly coding on the big screen, diving into a lot of low-level details. The tone was judgmental and not cooperative. The questions seem to be something you can easily study for, but unfortunately I did not. I believe the interview process does not do a good job selecting the right candidate, only the lucky ones. I would be more interested in how people apply new information, instead of expecting them to know everything off the bat, but none of that apparently mattered at Arista. It was a robotic and cold process. You do the test, they quietly watch you with very occasional involvement, then literally said a couple of words of goodbye. Didn't strike me as a place I wanted to work at anyway (maybe sour grapes, but I think there's some truth).

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
