I applied online. I interviewed at Meraki (United, WV) in Sep 2023
Interview
The interview was five rounds, the first was a standard screening call with a recruiter, second was a discussion with the hiring manager. Afterwards you do a take home assignment where you write a mock email as if you are already a member of the team. Then there is an interview with leaders in the role, mine was split into two different ones on the same day. Finally I did a sit down with current employees, which was a refreshing change. Unfortunately, I have mixed feelings at this time as I was told to expect an answer within the week and still haven't heard anything back.
I first completed a phone screen with the recruiter to talk about my resume, expectations for the role, and answer questions I had. The second and third interviews were technical. The second interview was technical through a third-party company where I was asked some questions related to WiFi and JavaScript before going through an overarching technical problem and as many possible smaller related coding problems. The third interview was LeetCode with a Meraki software engineer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview process is standard. 1. Tech screen 2. Take home test. 3. Coding 4. System design 5. tech deep dive 6. Hiring manager - team fit (age - prefer around 30s +/- 5yrs) 7. recruiter wraup. Most of the tech is around troubleshooting and scripting. All interviewers are aged 25-35 years, so "culture" fit important. If you don't fit in that age group, chances are less even though you cracked all interviews.
