      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.

      Software Engineering Intern Interview

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
