J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cisco (Waterloo, ON) en oct. 2020
Entretien
I was called to interview with Cisco after meeting with one of their engineers at Job Fair. I had 4 rounds of interviews with 3 different teams. Each round of interview lasted at least 2.5 hours and would consist of multiple interviews lasting 45 mins each with different members of the team.
The complete interview process lasted for about 2 months.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
All of the interviews were technical and consisted of asking me about one of my projects and then moving on to technical questions regarding the field and then a set of coding challenges.
The following are the areas in which I was asked technical questions:
- Networking
- Linux Programming
- Processes + Multithreading
- Memory Management
- General questions about C/Python
These are the coding challenges I was asked about:
- Check the error in the code and fix it
- Count the number of 1's in a binary number
- Reverse order traversal of binary tree
- How to copy a string in C
- Find the missing number in an array when given 1->n numbers
Most of the coding questions were followed by some analysis + questions regarding possible errors.
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
