There are written test before the interview, and four interviewers in turn. Each of them focuses on a specific area, and I think the first is the hardest, latter is better. They have talked about some Cicso's device related technique which I don't know about, but it's OK.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Cisco (Bengaluru) nel mese di giu 2026
Colloquio
The interview started well and covered backend concepts, Java, system design, and coding. I answered the questions confidently and had a positive interaction throughout.
After receiving the rejection, I spoke with HR to understand the feedback. I was informed that the interviewer believed I was looking at answers during the interview. This came as a surprise because I was not referring to any external material. I have a habit of looking away while thinking or recalling concepts, which I believe may have been misunderstood.
I wish this concern had been raised during the interview so I could have clarified it immediately. If there are concerns about a candidate’s behavior, discussing them in real time or asking for a room scan can help avoid misunderstandings.
Overall, the interview questions were fair, but I feel my evaluation was influenced by this misunderstanding rather than my technical performance.
