They did not specify how many questions I needed to complete. (I asked, and was told it depends on me.) I was told to use vim for coding. Based on my past experience, most virtual assessments usually require solving 2–3 questions. With this in mind, I managed my time accordingly. I completed 3 questions within the final assessment and still had about 10 minutes left. However, the interviewer commented that I was too slow and said I was going to fail. I suggested that, since time remained, he could give me another question to try, but he replied that it was meaningless and that I was not suitable for Arista’s work environment. During the interview, the interviewer was frequently distracted, working on something else and checking his phone, which came across as unprofessional.

There were two technical interview rounds. 1 st round was pure DSA based.(All the questions were standard). 2nd round covered all the fundamentals as well as projects and resume drilling.
