I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jun 2020
Interview
The interview process is comprised of three interviews.
The first interview was very technical, gave back an answer after less than a week. The second interview was based on a project I did and sent them for review and also a technical coding question. The third interview was mostly formal we talked about the company and what positions are available for me.

You can set up the sensors at every position you want, at the end of the day your program should be able to return the number of short and long wood blocks processed during this day.

Interview
I submitted my resume to the recruiter via career fair at my university. I was called shortly after to sign up for interviews on my university campus. The interview was very easy, and I was offered the job a week or two later. There was no on site interview, which was strange to me. Everything went very smoothly and the recruiter was very receptive and timely on answering emails.
