I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NetApp (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
NetApp takes a different approach to the hiring process for their interns. After applying online or through a recruiter, about 150ish people are chosen to participate in onsite group interviews. It is a day-long event where you interview with five different teams in your field. These interviews usually consist of the manager and two or three employees. The best part is that you can be considered for each of the teams and potentially receive five offers. After the event, you are given an offer within a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many tennis balls can you fit in a school bus?
kind and plain. usual regular expected questions , nothing out of ordinary for a behavioral. went a little overtime. was a little more self guided than i expected, waiting to hear back for a while.
I met with two data heads and they were kinda rude. They asked a couple of data questions but were pretty basic. If you did not answer how they wanted, they made you feel dumb.
The online test consisted of two parts and lasted for a total of 2 hours. The first part challenged your coding abilities with 3 coding questions. These questions likely tested your knowledge of programming languages like Java or Python.
The second part focused on assessing your broader technical understanding through 30 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). These questions covered a range of topics relevant to software development, including Java, Python, logical reasoning, JavaScript, and even concepts related to threading in computer science.
