I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nutanix (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I had one phone interview with the recruiter and one with the hiring manager. Right away, they scheduled me for an onsite interview the following week. Once I got there, the recruiter started with saying, you are at least one of 3 onsite interviews and regardless of outcome today, you won't hear back from us for at least a few weeks. That was definitely a negative start in my mind and the wrong thing to say to a candidate. Interesting enough, 4 weeks went by and I never received any communication from them. I think it's always nice to inform the candidates and tell them where you are in the hiring process and if it's not the right fit, it's best to let candidates know instead of ignore them. Overall, I didn't like their approach to interviewing. They need to improve their process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were standard. Why Nutanix? How do you handle conflict? What have you accomplished to date? Tell more about your experience.
Overall I had a good experience. Had 2 phone calls and a final interview with 4 people from the sales and marketing teams. Then got the offer after a week.
It was smooth and clear and well structured. They really care about who you are and how well you can work in a team. Interview by colleagues, managers, and directors.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nutanix in Mar 2022
Interview
The hiring manager attempted to bypass HR by reaching out directly to schedule a first interview. When that failed, HR scheduled a 30 minute call which went fairly well, asked standard questions and reviewed some of Nutanix's benefits. The interview with the hiring manager was immediately scheduled for the following day and then went alright as well. I determined very quickly this role wasn't the right fit for myself, and it was mutually agreed to not continue the interview process.
What struck me as odd was the initial bypass attempt, which leads me to believe there's some internal delays or struggles taking place, and the fact that HR was emailing and texting during the weekend and overnight hours. Receiving a text at 2 AM does not make for the greatest impression.
