      Specialist Position Interview

      13 Apr 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ottawa, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON)

      Interview

      Bad recruitment experience. Executives who didn't know what they wanted for the role as they each shared different priorities for the incumbent. The recruiter was either not aligned with the Hiring Manager or was falsely exaggerating feedback. If a company cannot hire in 4 weeks for a role they stated they urgently needed, then that speaks volumes to challenges within the organization. My recruitment experience took 7 weeks which borders on unprofessional considering it was a small candidate pool.
