      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Ciena

      Interview

      I had to make a presentation on the effects of 5G and how Ciena is making use of it in their products. I then had to answer questions based on my research as if I were explaining the concept to a client.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why would I care about using 5G in my area specifically?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena

      Interview

      They brought me into an office and sat me down with four members of the team. Asked me all the generic interview questions, and showed me the office space. I had to stand up and present to them about something I was passionate about. Was not offered the job, but received a phone call from the hiring manager. Had nothing but great things to say and asked me to be sure to apply if anything else came up in their department.

      Question 1

      Why are you deciding to switch from a medical background to telecommunications?
