I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Chennai) in July 2018
Interview
There were 4 rounds.
2 Technical round,1 HR round,1 Managerial round.
Technical round questions were based on your problem solving skills and networking.
Basically they wanted a network engineer for operations,so they focussed on the projects that I completed in my engineering period.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you are outside of your college yet you want a particular book kept in library.You tell your friend to get that boook,he gets in but the power gets cut.How will you manage to get it and how you will make him reach there,
I applied online, heard back with in a week, initial recruiter screening, manager interview, technical panel interview, then manager interview again. Technical was a mix of fundamentals and a couple of pretty challenging ones to know off the top your head.
Very casual, unorganised interview. Interviewers talked for the majority and had no idea who I was before the interview i.e. didnt review my CV or experience. Any questions seemed very odd the cuff and unrelated to the job in question.
Very thorough and detailed. Expect in depth questions and be ready with reasonings. I did find it difficult at some points but overall i did prepare well. If you remember your past experiences and concepts you won’t find it that much difficult.
