I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ciena (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2023
Interview
Very friendly interview process and I had a great experience overall. The questions weren't too technical and they truly seemed like they cared. Would prefer in person interviews but I understand the reasoning for the online format.

Starting with a C (language) & Aptitude based pen paper round. We moved on to the interview. Interview was mostly technical discussion. We had only 1 round. Overall it was not just like your typical viva but a fully detailed discussion about a computer
