I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cisco (University, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Applied to job through school provided job search web site. Interviewed on campus for 30 min. The interviewer mainly asked about what experience I have and how I handle problems associated with the team of engineers I work with on campus. The first question asked was how routers work, so know your networking systems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I did not expect so many questions regarding problem mitigation with my team of engineers.
It was nice, informative. One should prepare using all resources. They will judge your understanding based on everything that you ever demonstrated in the process, so be aware of everything you said or mentioned.
It was basically deep dive into resume and some questions on Dsa. The overall experience was good. There were 4 rounds in total. Be familiar with basics of the language that you primarily use.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)
Interview
3 rounds. 2 tech and 1 HR. The tech rounds lasted 1 hr 15 means each. HR was just formality for me though some had proper HR rounds. They wanna see how you work out solns with them over the actual one.
