There as a very rigorous interview process of four interviews over a 6
month period, culmimnating in an offer which was accepted. The first
interview was with a VP, then two A.T.'s, followed by my immediate boss
and then peers and other MD's. The process was designed to build
consensus and buy-in of new hires. In my opinion, it was much too long
and arduous a process and could have been easily shortened.
One interesting and intruiging question asked during one of the
interviews was the following: Since we (Lucent) lend in US Dollars to
some customer to buy our products and these customers do not earn US
Dollars (but rather generate local currency), how can Lucent hedge the
foreign exchange risk? Answer: While it is difficult at best to hedge
the FX risk, we expect our customers to outgrow any devaluation risk.
