Network and Applications Performance Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

May 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I started with a recruiter from India reaching out, who then connected me to a recruiter based in Cambridge. They described the job well and scheduled me for the first round of interviews.

The final round of interviews with the panel went well, where they tried to understand the depth of my understanding of CDNs and my thinking ability.

What bothered me, however, was the follow-up after the interview. I was told that they were interviewing some internal candidates after my interview. If you have to interview internal candidates after interviewing externally, it's a clear waste of time for the external candidate. I would suggest you interview internally first and find the right candidates before even posting the job externally.

Questions

Basic Network Engineering and planning questions. They wanted to gauge the candidate's skills to design a Global CDN Network.
