I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (London, England) in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview went well with a very kind recruiter. Since the position is remote rather than onsite, the recruiter inquired about the possibility of transitioning to an onsite role in the future and whether I would be open to such a change.
It was relatively easy, they just discussed the company, the culture and their own experiences. Friendly interviewers. Good experience overall. Approx. 30min. long. In person interview with 2 owners. dfdfdfdfd
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Knowing That I was a 3rd year undergrad, both interviewers spent 15min describing their life accomplishments. Then after some brief technical discussions I was asked to implement dijkstra on the board. Even though I did my best to attempt it, no hints were given, I was left alone multiple times, and then I was escorted out the building.
