I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Nov 2017
Interview
I got an interview call through elitmus and attempted first round. They mainly concentrated on Networking.Test paper has three sections Networking(20),RDBMS(10), C(15).Being an Electrical Engineer I am unable to attempt Networking questions.But those are from Cisco CCNA
it was 3 tec round. and 1 manager round.
all questions were related to the scenario bases on networking.
topics: VPN/ Proxy/ Firewall/ and basic networking
manager round was very easy
Registered via Cisco ideathon. Three rounds of interview.
Technical, managerial, HR rounds.
All questions were easy to medium technical round had lot of questions and 2 DSA questions.
Managerial was about few situational questions.
Interview with direct manager and few other senior engineers from the team. Engineers focused on technical side about various OSI layers. Manager's questions were more behavioural about managing difficult situations and coming up with new ideas.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Scenario based questions as well as troubleshooting problems. Was given a scenario where traffic could reach from one host to another hosts which are connected via a series of switches and routers. Was asked to walk through how I would troubleshoot the given problem.
