      Data Center Tech Interview

      Sep 28, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      San Jose, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      It was a very long time ago when the company was small. I was not hired the first go round, but made it for a second chance. I interviewed with the hiring manager and 2 other employees. The offer time was about 2 weeks if I recall... this was more than a decade ago. Much has changed since then.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most unexpected question was along the lines of this: You are called to a director's office to trouble shoot his Unix box, when you arrive you are shown the machine by his admin who tells you it was working last night before they left for the evening. When you move the mouse it does nothing at all, no sound, no display - what do you do first?
