I had 4 rounds of interviews with 3 different teams. Each interview lasted for at least 2 hours which consisted of multiple technical interviews lasting 45 mins each with Cisco engineers.
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.
