I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Coimbatore South) in June 2020
Interview
It was a lively interview. They mainly asked about what all projects i had worked on. The interactions was constructive in nature and overall it took about 50 minutes for it to complete. Panel consisted of 3 people - a technical, a Manager and an HR person.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Explain more about any one of the projects that you had done.

1. HR phone screen
2. hiring manager
3. SQL test
4. Python test
5. behavioral question
6. experience question
3-6 round in same week
Python test like leetcode easy level
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Raleigh, NC) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview experience was extremely disappointing. The responses felt sarcastic, and the overall tone made it seem like the interviewer was more focused on making the candidate fail than evaluating fairly.
