First, would be an HR round where they will discuss your compensation and what we are expecting. After this, at least two technical rounds will happen and the last a manager round.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology in Mar 2012
Interview
1. Initial HR interview (basic motivation, suitability for the job etc.)
2. HR cum technical interview (with EMEA Support Head - lots of information on company, culture etc, more detailed questions on previous work, responsibility, strengths, weaknesses etc.). Technical bit was 5-10 basic Linux and Networking related questions
3. HR interview with hiring manager - Same as above but almost no technical component this time
4. Technical Panel Interview (over phone and remote session): Different situations presented over remote session - Linux booting problems and possible solutions, DNS performance strace analysis, sed parsing for information in log files, IP forwarding and SSL certificate configuration, Problems seen in LAN traces like TCP resets and Lost packets and possible reasons, LAN trace analysis, Questions on TCP handshake
5. Team Fit interview (in office, face to face) - Just meeting team members and chatting to get a feel of the culture etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (Bengaluru) in July 2022
Interview
Very bad experience. The HR wasn't aware of the roles and responsibilities and skills needed for the role. Whatever questions were asked didn't even come near to my area of expertise. The interview was totally different from the job description sent to me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (Bracknell, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
Difficulty level medium. TCP and TLS are mostly which the interviewers focused.
Slow HR responses. It got me around the months for the complete process. For every round they took approx love month to schedule next round.
