I recently interviewed with Splunk and Cisco and had a very positive and professional experience. The process began with a Karat screening round, followed by multiple on-site interviews.

Karat Screening Round – 3 Components:

• System Design: Discussed distributed systems versus dedicated servers and performed a high-level design (HLD) for a game parlour card machine.
• Angular: Covered dependency injection, Signals, and RxJS operators.
• Coding: Implemented a UI screen based on a reference image using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

After successfully clearing the Karat round, HR collected my details and scheduled four on-site interviews:

• DSA Round: Solved two medium-difficulty problems on the Codility platform.
• Angular & DSA Round: One DSA problem plus questions on Angular and RxJS operators.
• System Design Round: Designed a high-level architecture for a concert booking platform.
• Manager Round: Discussed current project architecture, role-related behavioral aspects, and expectations from the position.

The process concluded with an HR discussion regarding the offer. While there was no negotiation, the package offered was highly competitive and satisfactory.
