Engineering Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I first had an on-campus interview with a former graduate from my school who currently works for Cisco Systems.
A few weeks later, I received an email stating that I was accepted to a second-round interview.
Questions
In the first round interview, they asked a few behavioral questions, such as:
- When was the last time you worked in a group?
- Explain in detail a project you worked on during past summer internships.
There were also constant questions to clarify the technical aspects of the project.
