I interviewed with a distribution partner, and it was a good two-way conversation. I was told I'd move to the next stage, but it was unclear if the budget was coming from the partner or Gigamon. The next step would be with Gigamon directly. I spoke with talent acquisition, and it went well. I was told about the next steps and that interviews would be set up. But then I was ghosted and ignored. I asked for an update and was told they were sending an offer to someone else and would reach out if that didn't work out. The communication was really bad, and they didn't treat applicants with respect. I don't expect a response for every application, but I do expect common courtesy. Based on this experience, I'd hesitate to apply here again and think they need to improve their processes because applicants are people.

So first, there was a written test with MCQs and 2 coding questions. The MCQs covered Aptitude and some cloud stuff. Then Round 1 was a technical interview where they asked about Networking concepts like DNS, application layer, DHCP, and SMTP. Round 2 was a Managerial interview, mainly discussing projects. Round 3 was an HR interview, which was about family background.

So, the whole process usually has a few parts to see if you're a good fit skill-wise, experience-wise, and personality-wise for the job. First up, a recruiter or someone from HR will have a quick chat with you to check if you've got the basic stuff they're looking for and why you want to work here. They'll mostly ask about your past jobs, your schooling, what you're looking to earn, and when you could start. This call is usually about 15 to 30 minutes. If you do well, you'll get to move on to the next step.

The interview experience left me feeling disappointed. It focused a lot on my childcare arrangements and whether I could manage the hours, asking about train times and if I'd be back in time to pick up my child. While availability is important, the questions felt patronising and uncomfortable, and not focused on my experience for the role. I was told to expect follow-up communication, but never heard back, which was unprofessional since they approached me.
