I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ciena (Ciudad de Mexico) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process has been serious and structured. I think that it has been a little slow, like 3 months for interviews and exams. I applied before for others jobs at the same company and I have not received any answer, I think that HR could sent a short email to the candidates that do not fill the profile or for some reason are not eligible for the position.

Interview process was very smooth.
