Process
I first had a phone screen, which was too easy for anyone who's been in the field. I guess they just wanted to filter out the real candidates.
The questions ranged from:
- How would you debug a network issue and what tools would you use?
- What is the difference between a hub and a switch?
- What is silly window syndrome?
It felt like he was reading the questions off a list, and he ran out of questions pretty quick.
