I applied through university. I interviewed at Cisco in July 2021
Interview
1st round is Aptitude round and includes coding questions and core questions and that followed by the Technical round. You will be asked some set of questions by the panel members. They test your IQ level also. There will be questions related to networks and database management systems. The interview may feel better if you are expert in these areas. It will be very nice to get selected in such a reputed company. All the best guys!
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
