I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2018
Interview
Recruiter contacted me on linkedin. Set a phone call interview with an engineer. Took forever just to track someone down to be available to interview me. Red flag number 1. Their whole recruiting process was extremely UNORGANIZED, I knew I would never want to work here even before I interviewed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like most about programming? In depth C questions. What is the difference between static in c and static in c++? What is big endian vs little endian? Interview was a load of crap.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
The process was very straightforward. Had a phone screen and later they set me up with a panel of 4 for Webex interviews. The last round was with the Director who never called. Later the recruiter set up another call on some other day and he did not bother to call again. This has been the worst experience I have faced. The recruiters did not have the courtesy to respond to my issues. I had to call the recruiter and she informed that they have decided to not move forward with my candidacy. It was shocking how unprofessional these people were. And they did not even apologize for wasting my time.
