I applied through university. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
Campus recruitment event followed by 2 45-minute in person interviews. One interview was behavioral while the other was technical. Received email a week afterwards that I just needed to wait for either an offer or no offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Differences between array and linked list and advantages and disadvantages of the two.
There were 2 easy and 2 medium questions they were not too crazy but the mediums can catch you off guard. If you practice the common questions you would probably get it.
Super day consisted of 3 hours of back to back behavioral and technical rounds. Technical interview consisted of many trivia questions on Networking, so recommend to review this topic beforehand. Behavioral interview asked standard questions (tell me about a time…/ work as a team/… etc)
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2022
Interview
First a technical interview with 3 questions of varying difficulty. After that, a month of no response. Then I got sent an email asking whether I was still interested, and within a week I got two other interviews. The interviews for smaller teams (>20) were very nice. The other was from an "Emerging Talent" recruiter, a whole event for a big group of applicants more than two weeks after their first email.
