      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      I was interviewed by two software engineers who asked about previous experience and who were interested in knowing about my technological aspirations. Furthermore, they asked me a battery of questions regarding my time in high school.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) When is a time you succeeded? 2) When is a time you failed?
      Answer question
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      First written application, then video, then interview. Written application is essentially a few word on why you want to be an extern at cisco, video application was similar but more in debt into who you are and what you’ve done. The interview was mostly behavioral with 1-2 technical questions

      Question 1

      Name one time you stopped a conflict?
