I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2023
Interview
First, screening round was of 3 programming questions in c#, java, python, c++, c languages.
First 2 questions were easy but the third one was quite complicating. All the questions were quite similar to the questions found on leetcode platform.
Interviews at cicso are quite random. Even my first round went pretty well, I didnt get call for next round. The interview process is about 4 rounds long last being HR and 2 technical and one managerial round
