Process
Got a call through a reference from an existing Cisco employee.
The interview process consists of three rounds:
- Rounds 1 and 2 are conducted by managers and focus on your past work experience. You can also expect a few questions on C and data structures.
- If you clear these two rounds, the next one will be a programming round conducted by an engineer.
- Expect questions such as finding the middle of a linked list or merging two sorted linked lists.
- There will also be basic questions on C and OS.
