Process

Applied at the Campus Career Fair and received an email the next day to schedule an interview on campus.

The process was fairly simple. They mostly focused on behavioral questions and your resume, which are pretty easy to tackle. Since I had no prior work experience, they asked me some basic networking questions.

The interview lasted about 40 minutes, and after that, in about two weeks, they sent me an offer.

Questions

Basic questions about routers, bridges, and hubs.
