I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Milpitas, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
There was one phone call and one on-site interview. The whole process lasted about 1 to 2 weeks, but overall it was alright. Over the phone there were 2 questions and the whole phone call lasted an hour an a half with 30 minutes of behavioral. On-site interview lasted about an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked be very basic algorithm questions, such as how to find the the top 3 largest numbers in a int array and how to rotate a matrix 90 degrees. There was another question about reversing a string without using library calls.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Moscú, ) in Feb 2018
Interview
Phone call. 30 minutes talk about experience and tasks. You open online sheet and type there your program. After that you should describe complexity and other solutions. That was not to hard
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cisco in Jan 2019
Interview
I did lots of preparation for data structure, etc ... you know, software stuff. However, the person who interviewed me (through video chat) asked me only on computer architecture, how hardware works, etc. I was very confused the whole entire time.
