      Product Manager Interview

      12 Jul 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Calix (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      After the initial screening call with HR, there was one round with the hiring manager. The interview went well with positive feedback at the end. Also, the HR confirmed that he has received positive feedback from hiring manager and that there will be a subsequent round. But after weeks of wait and followups it never happened. They did not even send a follow up email for next steps or rejection.

      Thank you for posting your review regarding our interview process. I apologize for the lack of follow up as this is far from the standard Calix has set for our teams. Please reach out to me or your recruiter at your earliest convenience and we will be happy to discuss this with you.

      Project Manager Interview

      12 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ulaanbaatar
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Calix (Ulaanbaatar) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      Phone interview with HR, then 3 more phone interviews with 3 different people, and 1 interview with hiring manager. The phone interviews went well and I was excited at the feedback I was getting from 2 of them. It sounded like they really wanted me on the team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      At one point the "manager" interviewing me on the phone stated he did not know what to ask me about, and then said "Oh - I know! What or who is your favorite animated character?" This led him to ask more irrelevant questions, never asked about my work experience. I expected more professionalism. The guy was a total goof.

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Calix in Sept 2016

      Interview

      lengthy, comprehensive, structured, intense. Solid interview process that used to be manager first with overall information then a select group of co-workers that questioned on their domains and areas. Provided room for questions and for applicant to present summary of skills and experience.
