The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2011
Interview
On-campus recruiting at a career fair got me an interview on campus the next day 1:1 with an engineer. I believe I interviewed well, but I have not completed the background check yet to find if I will get an offer or not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you implement a singly-linked list in C?
They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.
