I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
In OA, MCQ regarding computer network and basic os, oops was asked.
3 rounds of interview happened, 1st was technical where i was asked to implement heap and binary tree and some related questions then was asked about computer networks like osi model and IP address, MAC addresses etc.
In 2nd round, leetcode problem of trapping water was asked, then a web log was given including IP address, time frame, and request type and was asked to identify which user is spamming. Later asked to implement it for multiple users. A little about how network works then asked about ways to troubleshoot a slow computer.
Finally the ETR (hr) round, only details were verified and asked why i want to join cisco.
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

Question 1
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions.

Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.
I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
