Process

Applied through LinkedIn. Received a link for a HackerRank test. The 1.5-hour test contained questions on Linked Lists, Bit Manipulations, and Arrays.

After one week, I got a call from HR to schedule two in-person interviews at Cisco Bangalore.

The interview questions were moderate, highly concentrated on programming, OS, and Data Structures. The interviewers were really friendly.

After another week, I received an email stating I was not considered this time. Nevertheless, it was a nice experience.
