Process
The standard Cisco interview process involves multiple rounds with different teams. The job description is not very specific, listed only as "Software Engineer for New Graduates." They are mainly looking for "talents." Most of my interviewers were nice and asked easy questions.
Questions
Mostly C-related questions, focusing on pointers and memory, and also some networking questions.
