Interview
The interview wasn’t easy and wasn’t hard
First was recruiter
Then technical for 1 hour than 30 minutes manager interview
After 1 week , recruiter called me and she said they are so happy and they will send an offer by the end of week and it has been more than 1 month and I didn’t get the offer till now and the recruiter ghosted me with no answer on emails and phones
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Network troubleshooting scenarios from the host A till host B
Short interview with some technical knowledge, mostly an assessment of fit into the team with your own experience taken on board (this was some time ago. It seemed like a decent team but with the oncoming Broadcom acquisition & constant flux of team & job changes on the horizon it didn't seem like a good fit
