The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Milpitas, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
The HR keeps asking about what courses I have taken in my graduate study. I list some courses about computer engineering. It seems she is not satisfied with that. And she asked me again about what other courses except the CS course ....
And she also asked why cisco, why chose cisco and why should cisco need me
I was asked Leet code medium and hard question. There were 3 rounds including one onsite round. Answered some the resume questions as well. Also questions from database was asked.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
30-minute call with a recruiter
3 hr take-home + 1 hr review (this tests your ability to use agents to build a full-stack app and then your ability to understand the generated output)
30-minute call with CTO
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How the generated app works in detail for different features
They asked me to solve 2-sum and then 4 interviews just about my experience with technical questions. It was basically pretty straightforward, just like any interview. It wasn't extremely technical, but I think the process depends on which team you are interviewing for.
