Process
I applied and was contacted for a phone interview within 3 days.
The interview was purely technical from the very beginning and was mainly related to my experience. The interviewer read my resume and asked questions accordingly about each section and technology.
He asked for in-depth details about:
- OSPF
- TLDP vs RSVP-TE
- VPWS
- VPLS
- L3 VRF
He focused on my testing and automation experience, asking about:
- Which traffic generators I use
- My testing methodology
Questions
All questions were technical, so nothing unusual.
