Interview took place during covid19 pandemic, hence it was through video conferencing I applied in cisco job portal and got a test link , where it was 4 coding questions, you can choose c,c++,java to code I cleared this round and got a call after a week from HR about further steps HR scheduled interview and communicated clearly that there will be 2 rounds of technical interviews, depending on how I perform in those two rounds, managerial round will be there or may not be!! All rounds were through video calls through webex 1st round : pure technical round, interviewer was very cool guy it was very nice to interact with them He made me very comfortable and he was infact encouraging. First round went well. 2nd round : This was too pure technical round Interviewer was cool and i answered every coding questions Also in both rounds lots of OS concepts were asked..OS internals..memory, virtual memory.. Paging, semaphores, dining philosopher problems..lot more Also they focused a lot on array related coding puzzles also bit programming. After first two rounds i was confident I did pretty well in those rounds J I was later called for managerial round after one hour Managerial round: Manager was very cool and conversation went well. He asked lots of questions about whatever I mentioned in resume TIPS: Do not fake anything in resume. be bold and be genuine. BE Yourself. Do not try to portray different version of you just to impress Make sure you are clear about whatever you have mentioned in your CV. After managerial round was over, he informed me HR will get back With in two days I got an email from HR team for sharing futher details in order to proceed with recruitment. After 4-5 days waiting i got offer letter. Cisco HRs are very professional, they manage time nicely and very approachable and respond to your concerns nicely. I accepted the offer.!!

I applied on Career Website directly. Within couple of weeks got the email from HR regarding onsite interview. No telephonic interview as I was local to San Jose. HR provided the Interview schedule, with interviewers name and their respective job post. Got Interviewed by 4 experienced engineers, 45 mins each. After the interview I did not receive any response from hiring team/HR even though I sent 2 emails asking for feedback/result. After about 40 days, I got a call from HR saying we are still considering your profile for the position. After 1 week of the call, I got offer. I accepted the offer. :)
