Process
I just finished a coding exam. It had three questions, similar to LeetCode problems. Two questions were easy, and one was a medium-difficulty problem. The exam was in the last week of October 2022. I am waiting for the results.
Questions
Coding questions from LeetCode based on sliding window, strings, and matrices.

Nice Projects, Toxic Team
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
August 22, 2023
Pros: Nice project and good perks.
Cons: Coming to the team, I think in any company depends upon your team. My team was very homogeneous, and the manager was always pushy. Most of the team felt the stress always. Not a happy or enjoyable environment at all. And the worst thing is Cisco has layoffs every year, which affects a good amount of employees.
