I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in May 2011
Interview
Applied online.
Initial phone screening for 2.5 hrs. Discussions involving OS concepts, DS, algorithms, resume based projects, some amount of behavioral.
Scheduled second round involving a series of 4 webex interviews on the same day.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Jan 2011
Interview
Pretty simple interview yet thorough. All sorts of questions ranging from DSA to Networking to OS. (all basics, nothing fancy) A good resume helped.
HR interview was quick, I guess the technical interview went well so they just quickly brushed it up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write code (on paper) to count number of words in a sentence.
