Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will you respond if the manager rejects your design proposal?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Actiontec in Nov 2023
Interview
Since it is an entry-level job/internship, the technical questions are fairly basic which include the OSI models, and the difference between byte and bit. The interviewer focuses the most on the resume, what project you did, and how you did it. However, I was unprepared with my presentation skills and I presented it poorly.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Actiontec (Taipei)
Interview
Get contacted by a headhunter.
The headhunter said it's a FAMOUS, with GREAT FUTURE company tightly WORKING WITH "VERIZON."
However, it was just like a gimmick to persuade new freshmen to accept the phone screen.
It turned out to be this private, no transparency, lots of bad reviews on Glassdoor company.
The headhunter said the phone screen would just be talk without tech problems.
However, it did have. (WTF Between these two companies !?)
On the phone screen, the interviewer couldn't describe clearly what's the next goal of this company.
What's the next product will be released? Does the company give up the wireless monitor casting line?
This company sounds like a sinking ship.
They just tried to tell you that you will work in a FOREIGN COMPANY COOPERATING WITH "VERIZON"!!!
How good it sounds like, right?
After the phone screen, I can clearly understand why this company needs a staffing company for them to recruit and why NO ONE TAKES IT.
