I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Feb 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. First there was a phone call with the recruiter basically explaining the position. After your resume gets approved by the hiring manager you are selected to a technical interview. It was my first Webex interview and it last for an hour. It consisted of basic network concepts and it evolve to more specific questions related to the role. After a couple of weeks got a feedback from recruiter saying I wasn’t selected because I was not very confident at the interview although I have demonstrated I had the knowledge. Recruiter was very kind returning back with the feedback and leaving the door open for future positions. The whole process was very professional and organized.

As a Networking Consulting Engineer at Cisco, my interview experience was quite rigorous but also rewarding. The interview panel delved into various aspects of networking, coding, and cloud technologies.
The interview began with fundamental CCNA questions, which served as a warm-up round. These questions ranged from basic networking concepts to more intricate routing and switching scenarios. I felt confident tackling them, as they tested my foundational knowledge of Cisco technologies.
Moving on, I encountered two coding questions of varying difficulty levels. The first was relatively straightforward, focusing on algorithmic problem-solving skills. It required logical thinking and efficient code implementation. The second question was more challenging, involving data structures and algorithm optimization. Despite the complexity, I managed to devise a solution and explain my thought process to the interviewers.
Additionally, the interview explored my expertise in cloud technologies, a crucial aspect of modern networking. I discussed my experience with cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, emphasizing my ability to design and implement scalable network architectures in cloud environments.
