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 )

They wanted in-depth theory knowledge on virtualization concepts, Linux Commands, Operating System Concepts, Networking Concepts, etc. since their role also aligned with that. SREs will be in constant touch with clients troubleshooting issues, which require these theory fundamentals right.
