In OA, MCQs regarding computer networks and basic OS and OOPs were asked.
Three rounds of interviews occurred:
Technical Round: I was asked to implement a heap and a binary tree, along with related questions. I was also asked about computer networks, including the OSI model, IP addresses, and MAC addresses.
Technical Round: A LeetCode problem, "Trapping Rain Water," was presented. Subsequently, I was given a web log with IP addresses, timeframes, and request types, and asked to identify which user was spamming. Later, I was asked to implement this for multiple users. There was a brief discussion on how networks work, followed by questions on troubleshooting a slow computer.
ETR (HR) Round: Details were verified, and I was asked why I wanted to join Cisco.
