I've applied for NSE1 position at F5. First HR gave a call and asked more personal information, explainthe recruitment process etc. Then the technical screeing online which contained around 50 open questions and given time was 35 minutes. Techical screening included detail of OSI layers, TCP/ UDP Protocols and linux commands. I couldn't answer all question but passed the screening. Second technical screening was via phone. OSI layers and switches, then TCP/UDP protocols, DNS and DHCP, detail of HTTP, detail of SSL ,encryption, linux commands and troubleshooting scenerio. I could answer some questions but most part of linux and some part of networking were missed since I am luck of pratical knowledge. Linux knowledge is quite important skill they expect from candidate in this process and networking knowledge is just basic.

Interview process was extremely well conducted.. 1 pre-screening, 3 technical rounds, then talked to hiring manager, finally had a call with TAC manager then BG check was conducted. Process was well planned and the interviewers were extremely talented in their subjects and technologies they’re working on.

Everything was digital, which was really awkward. Yes it's nice to have 30 seconds to think about your responses, but it's just really informal and shows you don't have time enough for employees from the beginning. It also took them weeks to get back to me and I haven't heard anything back from them, even after emailing them, for over a month. I'm sure their a great company to work for, but I wasn't very impressed by their interviewing process.
