I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Jun 2024
Interview
I recently went through a three-round interview process. The first round was a prescreening by HR, followed by a Zoom interview with two managers, and the final round was onsite with the team members, where I had to give a small presentation.
The managers were very friendly and they even gave me an office tour, which was very interesting. The process was so smooth . Unfortunately, I did not get the job, but it was a nice experience overall.
