I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2022
Interview
I was told to have a 30-min phone calls. The interviewer is polite and friendly. He introduced to me what Ciena do and what skills he was looking for from a candidate. It’s my problem that thought it was only a BQ interviews or discussion of my previous experience so I didn’t prepare any for the Basic definition of the C language, I know that’s only the basic definitions. Some questions I even knew the answers but I was kind of lost and couldn’t answer it well. I recently had interview with Java and I perfectly answered them well. So It’s just I didn’t prepare to answer such questions…My advise is GET PREPARED!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What data types do C has? What’s the difference between static and global variables? How do we store static variables? What are the ways we call variables from a method? What is the differences of them? etc.
It was an 30 min interview with 2 interviewer. They asked me basic C and Operating system questions. Then, about my previous experience.
Few situational questions, like how would handle multiple priorities, what is the process after your done developing your application etc etc.
