Interview
2 DSA rounds - Standard problem-solving questions, Binary search tree, etc.
1 Java interview - Java technologies validators, static keyword

1. HR phone screen
2. hiring manager
3. SQL test
4. Python test
5. behavioral question
6. experience question

I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Raleigh, NC) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview experience was extremely disappointing. The responses felt sarcastic, and the overall tone made it seem like the interviewer was more focused on making the candidate fail than evaluating fairly.
