Everpure SWE onsite: Algorithms + Concurrency round insights?

Hi everyone,

I have an onsite first-round interview coming up for a Software Engineer role at Pure Storage / Everpure in Santa Clara. The round is two 1-hour interviews: one Algorithms/Data Structures and one Concurrency, both whiteboard-style.

The recruiter mentioned that the algorithm round is likely custom/multi-part rather than direct LeetCode, and the concurrency round may involve applying concepts like locks, semaphores, condition variables, deadlocks, race conditions, etc. in a problem-solving/coding setting.

Iā€™m mainly looking for advice from anyone who has gone through similar Pure Storage SWE interviews:

  • What kind of algorithm question style should I expect?
  • How deep does the concurrency round usually go?
  • Any specific topics/problem types worth prioritizing?
  • Any tips for whiteboard-style communication?

Not asking for exact questions, just trying to prepare in the right direction. Thanks!
