I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
There are no behavioural questions, only very specific technical questions regarding the network, router, etc. Followed by a leetcode easy coding question. It has a total of 30-45 minutes. the technical part (not coding part) requires a comprehensive knowledge also a deep understanding of the domain to answer, otherwise it is impossible to answer them.
