Graduate Software Engineer at Cisco Systems Limited

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Edinburgh, Scotland (UK) May 2010 – Reviewed Jun 17, 2010

Interview Details – Applied Online. Was given a programming assignment to complete within 2 weeks (create a program to store and return IP addresses) as well as a phone interview. Very pleasant, more like a chat about uni projects, obligatory simple technical questions at the end. Face to face interview arranged two days later. Took four hours, consisted of a programming / problem solving test and two 2-man panel interviews, one personal / CV reviewing, the other a thorough examination of the assignment.

Interview Question – Write a program the reads IPv4 addresses from standard input and stores them in memory. If an octet contains a wildcard then the program should return all stored addresses that match.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – Had to decline as start date was too soon.
