I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Chennai) in Aug 2024
Interview
I was asked questions only based on resume which was different from the usual process of asking questions based on core subjects(mainly CN), and 2 DSA question approaches, followed by a small python code and its edge cases
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About my technical project, more on the machine learning algorithm used, dsa questions from BSTs and finally a dictionary-based python code, then few questions about cloud computing
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
