Alcatel-Lucent Hardware Test / Validation Engineer interviews, decoded.

It was an easy interview process. They asked me about general OOP concepts, things listed on my CV, some telecommunications topics, and also behavioral questions.

This was for an internship position. I found the interview to be very straightforward. It was a phone interview(30 mins long) and consisted primarily of questions regarding my past projects(from my resume) and an internship that I had just completed. I was asked almost exclusively about my past internship and what I did there/responsibilities there. The only technical question asked was "Describe inheritance in regards to OOP". At this time I do not have an offer but was told that there would be further correspondence once all candidates were interviewed.

I got a call from University career fair about a Network Test role. The interview process included two telephonic rounds. The first round was 45 minutes long and the second was 1.5 hours. The interviewer was friendly and made me feel comfortable. They also asked a few puzzles. Just make sure your basic networking knowledge is clear, and you should be good to go.
