I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (New Delhi) in Aug 2023
Interview
1st round : after clearing the OA , the interviewer made me comfortable and asked to introduce myself. Then asked questions related to my projects , networking , dbms , sql queries . 2nd round - introduction, discussed projects during my internship, talked about ML , Java C++ 3rd round - projects, real life applications of whatever I've learnt and written on my resume + hr questions HR - basic HR questions
Thorough interview process, beginning with a deep technical interview about my experience and expertise, followed by a managers interview about higher level topics. After 2 interviews I was given an offer which I accepted. Previous interview experiences with Cisco were similar, with just the interviewers being different.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give us an example of a major project you designed and delivered, including what went well and what you'd do differently next time.
Basically the process was very streamlined 3 interviews in one day. HR-Technical-Technical. I would say if you have knowledge in networking it is good quality interview and demanding enough but not too much,
