Question # 5 Explain what are your strengths At Metaswitch? Answer:- Bad Answer: Candidate is unprepared for question or only gives generic answers. Copyright © https://www.GlobalGuideline.COM Page 2/12 Metaswitch Interview Questions And Answers This is the most common job interview question - everybody should be expecting it. If they don't seem prepared, or give a fairly stock answer, it's probably a bad sign. Good answer: The consensus is to go for quality, not quantity here. Candidates should give a short list of strengths, and back each one up with examples that illustrate the strength. Also, they should explain how these strengths will be useful in the job you're applying for, and use this question to say something interesting about themselves. Read More Answers. Global Guideline . COM Question # 6 Tell me about a decision you made recently and how you reached it At Metaswitch?

Question # 8 Did you consider yourself a team player? Answer:- Of course you're a team player - who isn't. But a simple yes probably isn't the response the interviewer is looking for. Be ready to provide specific example of how you've worked as part of a cohesive team to get things accomplished and how you've focus on team performance rather than individual performance.

Answer:- If you were unemployed for a period of time, be direct and to the point about what you've been up to (and hopefully, that's a litany of impressive volunteer and other mind-enriching activities, like blogging or taking classes). Then, steer the conversation toward how you will do the job and contribute to the organization: "I decided to take a break at the time, but today I'm ready to contribute to this organization in the following ways." Read More Answers. Question # 12 You are not given the tools you need to be successful. How would you change that At Metaswitch? Answer:- State a business case to your manager / leader as to why you need the tools and make the request for them. Read More Answers. Question # 13 What do you know about our company? Answer:- You always want to make sure that you're pretty familiar with the company that you're interviewing with.

Question # 16 How do you think your colleagues at your last job would describe you? Answer:- While your CV will say a lot about your work history At Metaswitch, the interviewer will most likely look for greater detail with questions such as this. Be positive about previous experience, highlighting your own strengths. Read More Answers. Question # 17 If you had enough money to retire would you? Answer:- Just be honest. If you would retire then say so. But since you can't retire, and the interviewer already knows this, simply answer that since you can't this is type of work you prefer doing.

  • Exploring Platform Ecosystems: a Comparison of Complementor Networks and Their Characteristics
    Exploring Platform Ecosystems: A Comparison of Complementor Networks and their Characteristics Joey van Angeren [email protected] Utrecht University Department of Information and Computing Sciences Master in Business Informatics MSc. thesis submitted under supervision of: First supervisor: Dr. Slinger Jansen (Utrecht University) Second supervisor: Prof. dr. Sjaak Brinkkemper (Utrecht University) November 2013 Abstract Owners of software platforms are increasingly dependent on developers of complemen- tarities. As the proprietary platform itself exhibits elementary or generic functionality, platform owners depend on a complementor ecosystem populated by third-parties. As such, the ecosystem became a pivotal determinant for the success or failure of a software platform in platform-based competition. At present, little is known about mechanisms at play in proprietary platform ecosystems, and it remains unclear how these ecosystems differ from each other across firms and platform types. Addressing this deficiency, this thesis investigates and contrasts four proprietary platform ecosystems through statistical and network analysis. The research compares the ecosystems that exist around Google Apps, Google Chrome, Office365 and Internet Explorer, with data obtained by means of automated app store data extraction and interfirm relationships obtained from company websites and Crunch- Base. Results show similarities among the four proprietary platform ecosystems. The ecosystems are sparsely connected and highly centralized, since 3.18% to 29.82% of com- plementors initiated interfirm relationships. Furthermore, the ecosystems are predomi- nantly populated by complementors that limitedly commit to application development, the average number of applications developed per complementor ranges from 1.34 to 2.18. This is especially apparent in the Google Apps and Office365 ecosystems, that display strong characteristics of power law scaling in the distribution of the number of applications developed per complementor.

  • Enterprise Voice with Microsoft Unified Communications
    CHAPTER 4 ENTERPRISE VOICE WITH MICROSOFT UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS Now, we will cover voice in the enterprise, which has been a fluctuating and quickly evolving market over the past century. Through this experi- ence, you will learn how a software manufacturer like Microsoft has trans- formed the telephony industry through software-powered voice and will forever change existing voice communications as you know and use them today with the Microsoft Unified Communications platform. In a market that has been dominated by the likes of Cisco, Nortel, Avaya, Aastra, Siemens, NEC, and other large telecommunications manu- facturers as well as hybrid IP-PBX system providers such as Digium (Switchvox), and Fonality, Microsoft, the software manufacturer, not telephony device manufacturer, has made an enormous splash that is trans- forming the unified communications industry forever through the power of software and has played a strategic role to now be considered a leader in the Unified Communications market as identified by Gartner Research within its Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications, as shown in Figure 4.1. 85 86 Chapter 4 Enterprise Voice with Microsoft Unified Communications FIGURE 4.1 Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications Gartner UC Magic Quadrant (© 2008 Gartner Research) Originally targeting mail, collaboration, and Instant Messaging (IM) separately, Microsoft has now combined the Office suite of products— Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint—with the MVPs of Microsoft enterprise products, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to compete in a mature marketplace from both an appli- cation and device perspective. I have been personally involved with Microsoft’s independent UC products since Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and Live Communications Server 2003.
