Cisco Intern interview questions

we initially had a written test of multiple choice questions- Data Structures, Algorithms, Aptitude, basic Electronics concepts. A shortlist of 20 out of 150 people was announced. and the interviews commenced thereafter. I had two rounds of interviews In my first round- Code to determine a loop in a singly linked list explain and provide algorithm for quick sort basic questions on operating systems questions based on my resume The second round entirely focused on Big Data due to my experience in the field.

I interviewed for two positions: one in software engineering and one in IT engineering. I applied for both interviews on the school job website and after the deadline they emailed me about a week later requesting time slots to sign up to interview at. I interviewed with a software engineering professional first from the local area on campus. She gave me entirely behavioral questions with absolutely no technical questions which was very surprising. She asked me questions: Where would you like to work after graduation? What programming languages do you know and what classes have you taken? What do you think is the most interesting thing about technology? What do you know about Cisco? She also asked me a lot about the stuff I had on my resume and almost every single job experience I had on there as well. She asked about clubs too. The IT Engineering interview consisted of a webex interview because the interviewer had to rush home in the middle of the day. She asked more scenario questions and some testing questions as well on products. The first round interviews were pretty short and consisted of less than 30 minutes each. After a couple weeks when I got a counter offer I emailed Cisco and they sped up the second round interview and had me fill in a background check. The second round interview for the IT engineering position was also webex and the questions were more about the projects that I had done outside of class and what I knew about data and engineering. They got back to me a couple business days after that because I had a conflicting deadline.
