Had a 15 min chat with an Engineer over webex. Quite informal but there's still evaluation. I believe it's intended to quickly select candidates for more formal interviews. Still in the process or waiting for more formal interviews.

Write an algorithm to find number of 0s in the binary representation of an integer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
Three interviews over zoom. All three were technical. They went over very basic competencies plus a few algorithms. Very laid back, relaxed, and friendly. I performed terribly on two out of the three interviews, but that was completely on me. We all have bad days, but all three interviewers were supportive and friendly.
