      Field Application Engineer Interview

      2 Apr 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ciena (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      1. Early Screening Interview with HR Rep, 2. Technical Interview followed by assessments 3. A couple of Panel Interviews, rather than one, due to scheduling conflicts between the interested managers. Negative review because given the time intensiveness of the full process, they haven't the decency to provide you with any updates afterwards even if you send follow ups. Best you'll know you aren't selected is seeing the job listing is taken down. Not professional

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Given a description of a few applications, develop a detailed test plan including descriptive test cases and evaluation criteria.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Given a description write a python script that processes Json inputs to their specifications. It ends up being some variations of reading, writing, and editing. Expect this to be riddled with spelling and grammar errors. Maybe it's another quir requiring you to seek clarification from the proctor. Probably, it's a consequence of the descriptions being hastily written.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Execute the test cases from Q1 in some applications provided and rate the cases pass/fail as well as filling out a bug report.
