I interviewed at Ericsson (Cairo, Cairo Governorate)
Interview
The interview process was very very long. It spanned a bit more than three months. It consisted of five stages:
1. HR
2. Engineering Manager
3. Engineering and Scrum Master
4. Global Team
5. Head of Cognitive Network Solutions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The four interviews, except the last one, were very logical and courteous They asked about direct experience related to the role. The last one was very, very useless.
This Head of Cognitive Network Solutions is the type of MBA holder who is clueless about what the business actually is and will ask you questions like "Which tastes better, chicken or steak?" If you say chicken they can always say, "No it's steak," and if you say steak they can always say, "No it's chicken." It has nothing to do with Cognitive Network Solutions. Very full of themselves, asking you cornering questions:
- Tell me about your failures.
- Tell me about your disabilities.
- Tell me about things that you are not good at.
- Tell me about things that you can't do.
- Tell me about your failed marriages :D
Trying to catch/corner you cornered in a difficult spot. They never got back and said, "I'm not even accepted." Very, very unprofessional.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Feb 2023
Interview
Initially had a discovery call with an external recruiter and then she suggested to do an interview. After that pretty straight forward interview with the hiring managers. The whole second interview lasted 30 minutes with some back and fort, very willing to answer your questions.

First question was to describe the job ad on which I've applied in order to see if I understood the specific in's and out's of the job position.
I applied online. I interviewed at Ericsson (Lagos) in Oct 2021
Interview
Indepth but easy to scale if one his knowledgeable about the role. Its a three stage interview process, final one is with the HR team. Product knowledge is also valuable.
