I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Lumen (Monroe, LA) in May 2017

Interview

It was a contract position through apex systems. First round was recruiter interview and then the next round was with supervisor and senior engineer from Monroe lousiana. Questions were pretty basic. It took only 1 day. Got the job within 4 hours after the interview. The package was very less. Do not hesitate to negotiate. Or else they wouldn't give you more than 25 per hour. Of course it was in Monroe Louisiana. Things can change in other location .
