Vorstellungsgespräch

I was contacted by a company recruiter about 3 weeks after applying online. I got through the initial phone interview (to which the recruiter was over an hour late) in about 15 minutes. There were nothing but questions about my resume. I came at this experienced but from another field of telecom. This was an entry-level position, a point emphasized over and over. I was a few years out of college of course.

My motivation was that I saw this as a way of getting into another field of telecom since I was not satisfied with my current industry.

The salary was abysmal. It was mid 50s with potential sales bonus (since this is a pre-sales job). I initially asked for much more before being told what they were willing to offer. I have pre-sales experience so the only training, I would think, would be learning Ciena's product catalog. Seemed like the pay was non-negotiable. It was less than my current job's salary.

From the conversation, promotions seems to based on seniority not merit.

The salary and promotions policy alone made this whole deal unattractive, but I let the recruiter push my resume forward anyway.

The hiring manager did not want a follow-up interview, so my candidacy was rejected.

Given my original concerns, I didn't give the rejection a second thought.

Put in application, contacted by interested managers for a very basic screening over the phone within the next 2 days. Scheduled an in-person interview, which took about 4 hours. Interviews are with several other managers and a few senior engineers, mostly oriented around basic technical skills and the normal interview "getting to know you" type stuff.

The interview process is unprofessional I think. They booked the flight for my onsite, the round trip and interview were in one day. I don't have time for the lunch during the whole interview day.
After the interview, they didn't give me any response to tell me I was rejected or not.
Months later, I suddenly receive offer from them. But after that, no response any more, even I emailed them to ask about this. And several weeks later, I was told that the they consider other candidates and the offer does not count.....

Vorstellungsgespräch

One phone screen and three 45 minute interviews on-site. The process was a bit longer than I expected (about 6 weeks for the interviews) but that is not typical (3-4 weeks). The offer can take a bit more time (2-3 weeks after the on-site interview).

Vorstellungsgespräch

It was quite simple and nice really. I was asked about my experience (I already had two internships before this), and what I did/know. Then I was told what they do and how things will be. I was mostly concerned about if I'll learn from them and I did.
