I had applied online for this position and I got a call from the company recruiter the following week asking me details about my background. Once that was done, he emailed me a list of technical questions which I had to answer and email back within 30 minutes. They are pretty straight forward if you know your concepts. The following week, I was asked to come over for an in-person interview with the entire team. Every person who interviewed me was very friendly, professional and had little humour as well. I felt extremely comfortably the whole time. The first person had a technical screening worth 75 minutes or so, after which I was interviewed by two people from the team discussing mostly about my background and work experience. After that I had a brief conversation with the vice-president of the company, who was also very friendly. Overall it was an excellent experience. Every one at F5 Networks handled the whole process with great professionalism, unlike few others I had interviewed for before.

I've applied for NSE1 position at F5. First HR gave a call and asked more personal information, explainthe recruitment process etc. Then the technical screeing online which contained around 50 open questions and given time was 35 minutes. Techical screening included detail of OSI layers, TCP/ UDP Protocols and linux commands. I couldn't answer all question but passed the screening. Second technical screening was via phone. OSI layers and switches, then TCP/UDP protocols, DNS and DHCP, detail of HTTP, detail of SSL ,encryption, linux commands and troubleshooting scenerio. I could answer some questions but most part of linux and some part of networking were missed since I am luck of pratical knowledge. Linux knowledge is quite important skill they expect from candidate in this process and networking knowledge is just basic.
