J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cisco (Waterloo, ON) en mars 2022
Entretien
A manager saw me resume at a virtual Job Fair and recommended me for the position.
A week or so later, I had a video call interview for one hour with one interviewer. She asked me simple questions about threading and operating systems. Also gave me a coding question, a simple one involving something to do with linked lists. I forgot, but it was simple
Then I got called for second interview, video call for 3 hours, 1 hour - technical, 2 interviewers, 1 hour - technical, 2 interviewers, ~1 hour - Manager, 1 interviewer

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.
