Meraki interview questions

The entire process was pretty straightforward and tough because they want Support Engineers that know the fundamentals extremely well and can function well under duress. You need a very strong understanding of network fundamentals (OSI, TCP/IP, VLANs, etc...) and be able to apply those concepts to real life troubleshooting scenarios (this is obvious, but needs to emphasized). Although you don't need to regurgitate IOS commands, you will need to be able to verbally troubleshoot, so I recommend doing a lot of labs. Received a message on Linkedin, followed by a quick phone conversation. Phone Conversation w/recruiter: Very straightforward - the entire process was laid out thoroughly. A week later: 1) Phone interview w/manager consisting of a few personality questions (Experience, why networking...) and then some basic technical questions - the OSI model stack, encapsulation, how frames are transmitted. 2) Written Assignment A couple of days later: 3) Technical Video Conference interviews - I had 2 technical interviews over VC, each an hour long. These were pretty tough because the process is dynamic in the sense that the process is more interactive and the troubleshooting scenarios don't follow a specific prompt. Note: It's about how you think under pressure, not how many concepts/commands you can regurgitate. 4) In-person interview w/senior managers - a mix between personality and technical questions. The Support Engineers and their managers are really smart, so they can sniff out BS quickly.

30 minute phone call with Cisco sales recruiter 30 minute phone call with hiring manager ~2 hour on site interviews with 4-5 managers, including hiring manager Phone calls are pretty simple and straight-forward. Know your numbers, what you've achieved, what you know you delivered in the past, and prepare good questions. Cisco's recruiters will work with you closely, if you pass the first phone call. They give you an idea of what each interview will be like. Make sure to use the recruiters as a resource to perfect your interviews. On-site interview was the hardest part. It was more tiring because you talk to 4-5 people, one after another. They each focus on a specific topic, and you have to keep your energy high if you'd like to get the job. Make sure to close each one of them. Prepare good questions. Know what Meraki does. They want to see that you are intelligent enough to look information up on your own and learn about the company. Prepare and you will be set!
