I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Cisco (New York, NY) in Mar 2021
Interview
Process was good only. But when it comes for salary discussion the HR will be very rude. They want you to join for lesser pay. No transparency in the process
Applied on the website. Call with the Hiring Manager, then 5 rounds of 45mins each. 5 rounds were on WebEx, divided in 2 days (3+2).
Mostly asked leetcode medium. They are always trying to break you. And if you say you know the soluton they'd change the question. Horrible experience.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2019
Interview
It's important to go through your cv and try to drive the conversation towards your strong points.
The interview process was fairly simple and questions only revolved around my projects.
Concepts were asked of the oops, DS, Alogorithm, etc
