      Optical Network Engineer Interview

      16 May 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      After applying on their career web page, I was contacted via email in just a few days. I set a date for the first interview with the recruiter. She was very nice and explained to me what the job entailed. This first part wasn't exactly an interview, as I had expected, just a call to schedule the first technical interview. The hiring process consisted of 2 technical interviews via phone call and if I passed, I had to go to their office for more face to face interviews. The first interview was basically DWDM fundamentals and a few examples of troubleshooting cases. The second one was supposed to be more detailed. Basically, they asked about types of amplifiers, OTDR, dispersion, transmission schemes (client-network-client). For a first interview, a good theoretical knowledge is a must, and also fast reaction to the practical cases.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Where should the OSC( Optical Supervisory Channel) be added, before or after the amplifier?
