Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Be ready to walk through OSI layers, basic IP addressing, how you isolate a bad cable vs. a config issue, and a time you followed a runbook under time pressure. Ask how Maximus structures junior tickets, on-call, and mentoring in Sacramento.
