1 telephone round and 4 telepresence rounds.

Question 1
Telephonic round: (1 hour)
1)Mostly about the previous projects.
2)Some technical questions based on the projects.
Telepresence rounds:
1st round:
1)Discussed about projects.
2)Five raliway stations A B C D E are there. The train goes only in forwarding direction. Given ticket costs between any two stations. All the ticket costs will be positive. How do you find the minimum cost of ticket between two stations.I gave recursive algorithm. Alternative improved solution is bottom approach, I wrote that algorithm later.
2nd round:
1)TCP/IP protocol layers. Give protocols for each layer.
2)Preamble bits. Purpose?
3)ARP protocol
4)When do switch broadcast the packets.
5)Difference between TCP and UDP.
6)How TCP connection establishment happens.
5)program to convert from little endian to big endian
6)what are the different areas present in address space of process.
7)Where does global variable, static variables, mallac memory, local variables gets allocated in this areas.
8)volatile variable. Its purpose.
3rd round:
1)virtual memory
2)kernel space vs user space
3)paging
4)segmentation
5)interrupt context vs process context
6)DMA.
7)How do you find whether machine is little endian or big endian.
8)About projects
4th round:
1)What are your strenths.
2)What are your weaknesses.
3)Why should we hire you?
4)Explained about their work and asked What technical knowledge you bring to team if we hire you?
5)Salary expectations.
6)Are you willing to relocate?
HR process is very slow. HR intially said i cleared the tech interviews and they are interested to give offer and later no call from them about the offer. After making 3 to 4 calls to HR, they said about no offer. Eventhough Tech interviews are good, as the HR are not responsive, i had overall negative experience.

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. :)

Question 1
Questions were all around Data structures and Operating Systems Concepts and about previous job experience/projects.
