ChennaiPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The interview was structured around two rounds.

In the first round, it was basic networking: TCP/IP, networking protocols, OSPF, Border Gateway Protocol, routing and switching, plus firewall topics like VPN. The second round leaned into scenario questions.

I felt like the questions were trying to see whether I could translate theory into decision-making in realistic network situations.

I received an offer, and overall it felt like a focused, domain-specific evaluation rather than a broad generalist screen.
