I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (New York, NY) in Apr 2015

one telephone interview for about 45 - 50 minutes. The interviewer was nice and gave enough time to think of answers. My manager followed up with me after a week and told me i got the internship.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. OS Concepts - fork(), race condition, mutex, demand-paging
2. Data Structures - trees, linked lists, circular linked lists,
3. Algorithms - Tree traversal(pre- ,in- ,post- ), swapping two numbers without using a temp variable
Applied with a referral. Received the online assessment shortly after applying. Passed all the test cases, but got no response. I’ve heard from others that the OA is automatically given to every applicant.
Nice Interview, was mostly technical with networking questions followed by basic bit manipulation and linked list questions like inverting a linked list to start from back to front to make an inverted linked list.
