Explain how a digital camera works.

This is a bad question in my opinion -- either you know it or you don't. It does not allow you to think through a process and demonstrate your reasoning as, say, a logic question would. Less

Where's the like button on your comment? I agree. Perhaps it is to see if you can navigate your way through something you know nothing about? Less

I was somewhat in the ballpark on this one. Basically a semiconductor charges and absorbs the electrons from the photons of light being emitted. Then a mechanism converts this "analog" data into "digital" data. Less

What are some of Cisco's products?
3 Answers↳
Just don't make any jokes about tablets.
↳
Actually, as long as you back up any jokes/statements you make with data or background research, feel free to say whatever you like. If I were the interviewer and you told me that the Cius is the worst tablet on the market and you can support that statement with facts, research, and valid opinions based on your knowledge, then I would be very impressed. There are many perspectives that people have today on the Cius, both good and bad -- whether it succeeds in the marketplace is still to be seen. Less

Well, I am glad to hear that. We're taught in school to stay away from speaking negatively about a company, regardless of how much research or knowledge is backing up that opinion. The real world is apparently more practical than that in this case. On a side note, I had no data/research (not to mention valid opinions) on the tablet, putting me at a disadvantage from square one. Clearly it was unwise of me to say what I said, but by the same token, my point of contention still held water: no consumer-targeted tablet is going to put a dent in the iPad. Had I been able to actually vocalize that point more clearly, maybe it would have appeared to be a respectable, valid opinion. Less

It's essential to demonstrate that you can really go deep... there are plenty of followup questions and (sometimes tangential) angles to explore. There's a lot of Associate Systems Engineer experts who've worked at IBM, who provide this sort of practice through mock interviews. There's a whole list of them curated on Prepfully. prepfully.com/practice-interviews Less

If you could please tell me what's there in the Java online coding assessment test of IBM. What types of programs were asked to write? Thanks Less
↳
I attended the interview but did not get email yet


They asked me according to my CV and to my major. They want you to show something concerning your technical background while studying or working. If you have a programming experience, they would probably ask you to write short simple program, if you are a networking engineer they would ask you questions about networking, etc.. So, be attentive while composing your CV, they will check how your words correspond the reality.
2 Answers↳
Did Ciso provide you with an email about the info that you are not accepted? And how long the decision process took? Less
↳
They called me personally. Actually, that was the most professional refusal in my life. Their recruiters are doing great job. Man who called me was nice and sympathetic, he told me that another program will start soon and I could try again later. He never called me back, but it was nice anyway. The decision process took less than 2 weeks, pretty fast. Less
