Cisco interview questions

One of the best interview experiences I’ve had. The process started with a recruiter screening where we discussed my background, how it aligns with the role, and my motivation for switching jobs. This was followed by a conversational hiring manager round focused on my projects, work approach, and an overview of the team’s vision. Next were two back-to-back technical rounds: a Data Structures & Algorithms interview with two LeetCode-medium level questions, and a very engaging AI awareness round that explored my understanding of AI concepts and my approach to applying them. The final round was with the director, focusing on behavioral aspects, work style, and tech ethics. Shortly after, I received the offer. Overall, the process was smooth, well-structured, and highly engaging. The HR team was extremely communicative, often sharing feedback within 1–2 days (sometimes even within hours). Absolutely amazing experience.

During the interview, I was asked questions on computer networking concepts, operating system fundamentals, and medium-level coding problems. The questions evaluated my understanding of networking principles, OS mechanisms like processes and memory management, and my ability to solve moderately challenging programming tasks.
