I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Kanata, ON) in Feb 2015
Interview
Had 2 phone screenings (the second one more technical, the first more general). The interview itself was long. Supposed to be 2 hours but went on for 3 hours 15 minutes. They got back to me within a week after the interview. They also wanted to make sure whoever they hire is there for a while. I declined the offer because I received another offer for more money. I like almost everything else about the job though ( environment, work, team, etc).
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years/ what are your future ambitions
Draw (on a whiteboard) an interface (UI design) for the described scenario. I don't recall exactly but I think it involved a list of connections and buttons to manage each one. Anyone with experience in UI design would find it fairly easy.
