      Solutions Engineer Interview

      Jun 30, 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Calix in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Started off with speaking to HR after my application processed. This led to speaking with the position manager which then a panel was formulated for the interviews. Each interview was individual so it was spread out over six different interviews. Great interview process with many different people holding different positions within the company.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Calix (London, England) in May 2021

      Interview

      7 stages of zoom calls including senior managers in EU and USA. The questions were fair and they answered any questions in an open and honest way. I removed myself from the process and took a job with a team that made a decision in 2 short interviews.

      Solutions Engineer Interview

      Oct 17, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      San Jose, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Calix (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      The hiring process for this position was lengthy, but not to long. I interviewed with seven people, but each person had a different role and the questions were very specific to the role they had. So there was very little redundancy in the questions. The best thing about that process was that I was allowed to interact with some of the people that I would work with, thus giving me the opportunity to vet their personalities. Overall, the process was pleasant and thorough for both myself and Calix.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Each person I interviewed with asked about process. Having a purpose in mind during any process that affects the customer or client seems to be very important.
