The interviews with the hiring manager went smoothly however the time it took took from interview to being hired was over a month. Interview first with a recruiter, next with direct manager, and lastly with the department manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions like talking about previous experience and why you want to work at the company.
Straightforward, mostly questions about current network environment. Learned about their network environment. Routing/switching, firewalls, load balancing. SDN/centralized control and management of devices. Multicast mentioned, but not extensively. It was primarily just a back and forth of where you're coming from and what you may be coming into with their network.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in Apr 2023
