XO Communications Sales Engineer Interview
Posted Feb 29, 2012 2012-02-29 11:38 PST
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oak Brook, IL Sep 2010 – Reviewed Feb 29, 2012
Interview Details – The interview process was pretty simple. The SE manager and a sales manager were both past colleagues of mine so that made the interviewing pretty straight-forward. The interviewing process was not too long or hard it was the internal processes at their end that later held everything up. Some delays with getting the job req approved and filled. Biggest issue came later when they did a bait and switch and offered me a lower graded position (and lower salary) than was originally talked about. I accepted eventually because I hoped it would be a good place to be. But then the manager that hired me resigned during my second day on the job.
Interview Question – SE manager just asked me to describe how I would design a particular WAN solution. But the scenario was not a common one someone would run into and he had a specific type of design answer he was looking for that was a bit odd. So it was hard to answer it the way he wanted it to be answered. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Negotiations were not good. They said they could not offer more and basically told me to take it or leave it.
