I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
Attended a job fair at my university and dropped off my resume. Got an email a couple days later asking for an interview. Interview was pretty straightforward, how much I knew about networking, what my favorite coding language was, why I was an engineer, stuff like that. I wanna say like 4 months after that initial interview I finally got an offer.
They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.
