I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2014
Interview
After applying online I got an email from the hiring manager the next day. The interview was with the whole team. The questions got more technical as time past. Overall good questions came up.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in May 2010
Interview
It was fast, good interviews, direct questions, Questions related to my previous experience and questions about real scenarios. Phone interview, then 1 to 1 interview, then group interview. Then an offer was sent. First offer was rejected due I was already working for another company and the offer was basically the same salary I as receiving . So I was able to negotiate and increase the salary in the offer. Finally accepted the offer and the background check was of about 20 days. So the complete process took around 1 month from the first call up to the first day of work.
Hi, we're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience interviewing with us and accepted our offer. I'm sure we'll have a great time working together!
