The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Sept 2009
Interview
I got a call from the HR Recruiter from Ciena asking me to come for an interview after 2 days.
I was interviewed by the manager and a software engineer. All the questions during the interview were asked by the software engineer and I answered them correctly. Actually I started dominating the software engineer and I believe that is why he didn;t recommend me for the position. The manager just sat there and listened while I did most of the talking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you use semophores / mutexes in an interrupt handler?
Cancelled my rescheduled interview without any communication from HR. Got ghosted when asked for an explanation. 2 days later, I get a notification that the position is closed. Will never bother applying here again.
Good experience. Only 2 interviews; 1 for soft skills and 1 for technical skills. I ended up getting the job. Fairly easy interview. Good place to work. Why need many word, when few word do trick?
