Interviewer was nice and willing to answer questions. Was asked to introduce myself, answer a couple of behavioral questions, and asked a few resume-specific questions. A couple of SQL questions and questions about statistical concepts, pertaining to the Central Limit Theorem and p-values.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Durham, NC) in Feb 2026
Interview
It's a 3-round interview where the first one is a recruiter, followed by technical and HR. The hiring process is slow but fair and interactive. The initial round is so basic, like just trying to know the profile and flexibility, waiting on the next ones.
