      Intern Interview

      12 Dec 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      I interviewed for two positions: one in software engineering and one in IT engineering. I applied for both interviews on the school job website and after the deadline they emailed me about a week later requesting time slots to sign up to interview at. I interviewed with a software engineering professional first from the local area on campus. She gave me entirely behavioral questions with absolutely no technical questions which was very surprising. She asked me questions: Where would you like to work after graduation? What programming languages do you know and what classes have you taken? What do you think is the most interesting thing about technology? What do you know about Cisco? She also asked me a lot about the stuff I had on my resume and almost every single job experience I had on there as well. She asked about clubs too. The IT Engineering interview consisted of a webex interview because the interviewer had to rush home in the middle of the day. She asked more scenario questions and some testing questions as well on products. The first round interviews were pretty short and consisted of less than 30 minutes each. After a couple weeks when I got a counter offer I emailed Cisco and they sped up the second round interview and had me fill in a background check. The second round interview for the IT engineering position was also webex and the questions were more about the projects that I had done outside of class and what I knew about data and engineering. They got back to me a couple business days after that because I had a conflicting deadline.

      Question 1

      The entire interview process was pretty easy and straightforward with mainly behavioral questions. Just remember to have a good explanation and demonstration of extracurriculars and projects.

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      3 rounds. 2 tech and 1 HR. The tech rounds lasted 1 hr 15 means each. HR was just formality for me though some had proper HR rounds. They wanna see how you work out solns with them over the actual one.

      Question 1

      They were curious on knowing why did you do your projects over what you did.
