I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nutanix (Durham, NC) in Aug 2018
Interview
The interview consisted of 3 rounds - first round was just a telephonic conversation with the Technical Recruiter who explained me about the interview process and Nutanix in general. Second round was technical(~ 30 min) and it revolved around the 4 main areas of Nutanix - linux,networking,storage and virtualization. The final round was made up of 3 rounds - 2 non-technical rounds( 30 min each) and they asked resume based and behavioral questions and 1 technical round(~ 45 min -1 hour) and this revolved around basic questions related to linux,networking,storage and virtualization. I had my degree in the field of networking so they focussed more on that part. Overall, the process was very good and it took ~1 month to complete the whole interview process(1st email from recruiter -> offer )
