The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meraki (San Francisco, CA) in May 2012
Interview
They started off with a phone screen in which we did a live coding problem on how to remove a node from a singly LL. I did well on this and was invited to the on screen interview.
The on screen interview started with a demo of their product. I had a total of 4 tech interviews in all. The questions were pretty decent and the interviewers were very helpful and positive. I did well on the first 3 and with some help was able to finish the last one as well. However, I did not get an offer and wasn't given a reason as to why.

Question 1
Dutch national flag problem. Input an array of integers. Output: rearrange the integers in place such that odd integers appear before even integers.
Write a function void * amalloc(size_t size, size_t align) that uses the stdlib's malloc function but returns a pointer that is aligned at align bytes. Similarly implement afree() that frees that pointer.

Question 1
Typical questions for 1st interview, what experience do you have with x, y per role description
Interview process was typical but the position was "closed" right before my last interview and they told me the day I was supposed to have that interview. So I ended up taking the day off for nothing.

Question 1
Leetcode type questions that you could code in any language
After a phone screening, I had a technical interview with 2 engineers, both very nice people. They asked me about some of my work, asked me to explain some networking fundamentals, and then a straightforward coding question. It was a very good interview, I simply went in unprepared and dropped the ball. Know the basics of networking interviews inside and out and you should be able to sail through the first interview. There would've been 1 or 2 more interviews after (I got the gist that those would've been more demanding but cannot say for sure).
