Process
I applied through my university career fair and got an interview one week later through WebEx.
The interview began with questions regarding my project experience. Then, several network foundation questions, such as what traceroute is and how it works, and two problems regarding subnets and subnet masks. It also included two very easy algorithm problems.
Questions
