I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at F5 (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2018
Interview
I got a phone call from the recruiter approximately 2 hours after submitting my application. The interview for the most part is standard. Technical phone interview, then an on-site interviews with different engineers. The recruiter and managers were quick to respond to my questions. They were very helpful, and they gave a good overview about the company and the position. I was also able to ask them for any tips and advice to be successful in the interview. The interview problems given were very reasonable. No "riddle" problems similar to most problems you find in hackerrank or leetcode, but I had to implement data structures or abstract data type, and other design patterns.
