I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
Contained first a technical interview, followed by behavioral interviews on experience with resume and/or outside activities. Finally followed by team meeting for selection process. Overall process took about one to two months from time of application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What have you done in your work prior to Cisco, and how did you see it to be beneficial?
oa: **Question:**Lucy loves to play the Hop. Skip and Jump game. Given anN∗M matrix and starting from cell (1,1), her challenge is to hop in an anti-clockwise direction and skip alternate cells. The goal is to find out the last cell she would hop onto. Write an algorithm to find the last cell Lucy would hop onto after moving anti-clockwise and skipping alternate cells.Input The first line of input consists of two integersmatrix_rowand matrix col, representing the number of rows (N) and the number of columns (M) in the matrix, respectively. The next M lines consist of N space-separated integers representing the elements in each cell of the matrix. Output Print an integer representing the last cell Lucy would hop onto after following the given instructions. Example Input: 3 3 29 8 3715 41 3 1 10 14 Output: 41 Explanation: Lucy starts with 29, skips 15, hops onto 1, skip 10, hops onto 14, skips 3, hops onto 37 , skips 8 and finally hops onto 41. So, the output is 41 .

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Sep 2024
Interview
It contains 4 rounds
1st round is Online Test
2nd round is Technical Interview
3rd round is Technical interview
4th round is HR interview
Each technical round lasts around 45 mins
