I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
4 rounds of interview. First 2 rounds were focused of technical aspects later 2 on mix of technical and managerial. Interview process was very smooth and I enjoyed conversation with each of them and learnt a thing or two. It was a detailed kind discussion where we discussed each point back and forth rather than ticking answers on a MCQ.
HR/TA was lost and confused me more than facilitating the interview process. Poor scheduling, My way or highway attitude and intimidation at late stage.
