I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Got an on-campus interview through my university. I was interviewed by two groups for about half an hour each. They asked me about my resume, coursework, and asked me a few technical questions. After about a week, I was asked for information to complete a background check, and I received the offer a few days later.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What is the difference between a queue and a stack? Then, describe which one should be implemented with a singly linked list and which one should be implemented with doubly linked list.
It was nice, informative. One should prepare using all resources. They will judge your understanding based on everything that you ever demonstrated in the process, so be aware of everything you said or mentioned.
It was basically deep dive into resume and some questions on Dsa. The overall experience was good. There were 4 rounds in total. Be familiar with basics of the language that you primarily use.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)
Interview
3 rounds. 2 tech and 1 HR. The tech rounds lasted 1 hr 15 means each. HR was just formality for me though some had proper HR rounds. They wanna see how you work out solns with them over the actual one.
