I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in June 2020
Interview
The interview process is comprised of three interviews.
The first interview was very technical, gave back an answer after less than a week. The second interview was based on a project I did and sent them for review and also a technical coding question. The third interview was mostly formal we talked about the company and what positions are available for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A sawmill has a conveyor belt that transports wood out of the mill. The mill has to types of wood blocks (long - 30cm, short - 25cm), you are given two sensors which you can place on top of the conveyor belt which notifies your program every time their state is changed.
You can set up the sensors at every position you want, at the end of the day your program should be able to return the number of short and long wood blocks processed during this day.
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
