Brocade Hardware Test / Validation Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had two rounds of interviews. The first was with the hiring manager, where I was asked basic networking questions and about a specific protocol from my resume. The second round was more in-depth. They asked about two other protocols from my resume, presented various testing scenarios, and inquired about packet behavior and modifications across different network levels. I was also asked to write one or two code snippets in TCL.

This was a 6 round technical interview process. The interviewers were technically very good and asked relevant questions. To pass this interview, you need to have deep knowledge of networking protocols. They asked questions about protocols listed on my resume.

The interview process started with a phone interview where I was asked basic questions, and it seemed to go well. A week later, the Hiring Manager contacted me to arrange an onsite interview. This onsite was a 3-hour session with six interviewers, including engineers, a Director, and Senior Managers. They were all very professional and asked detailed technical questions about my past projects.
