I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NetApp (Boise, ID) in Aug 2022
Interview
Contacted by the Hiring Manager through Linkedin, followed by HR scheduling technical interview. I was interviewed by the manager (1 hour), followed by two teams' interview (each one hour), in total 4 hours interview in a day with 10-15 minutes break in between session.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked behavioral questions and some technical question about my previous works at PhD. Whole interview was very easy and mostly discussion type. Most people in the teams seemed very friendly. I was asked if I am okay to relocate in Kansas and I denied. HR told me the team was moving forward with another candidate. Few days after the Hiring Manager told me rudely why did I missed the interview with his teams and he mentioned it unprofessional. He also mentioned HR told him that I did not attend the interview since I got a job. I had to respond to the manager's message politely and I replied that there are some misunderstanding since I was interviewed completely and never missed any interview and I was not selected by his team. After sharing screenshot of the email conversation with prof that I did not missed the interview and the HR/team misinformed him, he apologized to me. I found whole process very unprofessional and full of junk people. I would say even if you have low salary offer, then do not go for this company. The culture and the people are not professional there and you will not have good experience with them.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NetApp (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026
