Cisco

Applied online. Initial phone screening for 2.5 hours. Discussions involved OS concepts, DS, algorithms, resume-based projects, and some behavioral questions. Scheduled second round involving a series of 4 Webex interviews on the same day.

Managers were nice and down-to-earth. They will not try to waste your time with irrelevant interview questions they pulled from the internet. But be prepared to talk about yourself and past experiences in good detail.

Very enjoyable. The interview team was very professional and polite. They were also transparent about the organization's pros and areas for improvement. When I started, there were no surprises.
