Process

I got through two rounds.

The first one was a simple phone interview where we went over my resume and I was asked a simple circuits question.

The second round was at Cisco in San Francisco. It was a two-part interview where I first talked to an engineer who asked me simple whiteboard questions. The second part was more managerial, where a manager told me more about what they do there and what to expect.
