I applied online. I interviewed at Netskope (Los Altos, CA) in May 2017
Interview
Applied online from a job posting on glass door. Got a call from the recruiter. Very nice and quick turn around time. I was set up for a technical phone screen with the hiring manager.
A short conversation about skills and projects, nothing too technical.
I was given an online coding assessment and 24hrs to complete it.
I was invited on-site for a half day of interviews with about 4 team members.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you implement autocomplete (UNIX) , given the restriction that all commands use characters lowercase a-z and the maximum length of a command is 50 characters.
You are given a large set of log files ( more than a couple of million). each line in the file starts with a time stamp. The lines in the files are written in the order they are received (time stamp sorted) Given a start time and end time, retrieve all messages in that time range from all files.
Had the HR round and then the Hiring manager one. Friendly interviewer, but I cut the interview earlier, not interested in a classical leetcode style problem.
The problem wasn;t hard and the interviewer was OK

Question 1
Typical question about having an array , perform operations on it and generate a new one
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netskope (Bengaluru) in June 2025
Interview
The interview was 4 rounds including 1 screening. All rounds were on basic networking and DSA. But in the 4th round they said this role doesn't require any coding/programming and asked if i wanted to continue. I was frustrated to get this information in the 4th round wasting lot of valuable time of mine. They need to prepare correct JD before seeking software engineers for development role and then saying the work doesn't involve any form of coding. Don't waste your time on this company.
