Interview
I had a very positive interview experience with Cisco.
The interviewers were friendly, professional, and made the conversation feel comfortable and engaging throughout the process. We started by discussing my projects and technical background, and then moved on to several questions involving data structures and algorithms.
When I struggled with the final dynamic programming question, the interviewers tried to guide me and help me think through the problem rather than simply judging the outcome.
Overall, it was a genuinely enjoyable interview experience, and I appreciated both the professionalism and the supportive attitude of the team.
2 technical interviews with 2 medium leetcode like questions. the questions was mainly on graphs (bfs / dijkstra] and cache memory, as well as general thinking and creative optimization solutions
