I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Nov 2024
Interview
Got an interview after like one month. Applied online, no referral. Just wanted to talk about my resume, but 2 out of 3 interviews seemed very disinterested and like they didn't want to be there. Got told I wasn't qualified for the role at the end, seemed very uncessarily cruel
Behavioral then technical, spoke with a recruiter then developer, about my past experience, side projects, over zoom call, then also I had to go through a process where I had to answer coding questions like leetcode on the spot
