Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Feb 2020

Interview

- 5 rounds - still waiting for a reply. Sent a mail to HR multiple times about status. No reply. - HR is the worst. Don't believe in them. If you haven't heard from them in a week, then look for job in another company.

Question 1

Asked a question on how to implement a hashmap, the theory behind it, no code since it was a phone interview. Then in the 5 minutes remaining he asked me the pros and cons of mean squared error (since I mentioned I was looking to work on a data science team).
