I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alcatel-Lucent
Interview
A Phone screen directly with a person of the Team.
I was asked various questions regarding life of a TCP/IP packet. Each answer lead to several different questions that took a deeper dive into OSI Layers 2,3 and 4. The interviewer was a bit arrogant about the knowledge he had and he purposefully led me towards the incorrect answers and I came back refuting most of his comments with the correct answer (incorrect in his opinion). Sometimes he was just plain rude.
I did not go through to the next round because I did not clear this interview for obvious reasons
