I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Brocade in Nov 2017
Interview
Interviewed with future manager and team. Responsibilities were discussed and the questions were reasonable (no one asked any trick questions or overly invasive questions). The process wasn’t longer than a couple hours. I heard back after four months.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Brocade (San Jose, CA) in May 2008
Interview
Found out about the company at a career fair and gave my resume to the on-site recruiter. Was contacted a couple of months later by another recruiter, then had a phone interview with the hiring manager, then invited to a several hour long on-site interview with extended team and director. Received an offer about 2 weeks later.
