The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2007
Interview
brief phone interview, followed by onsite interview with 7 members of the team including 2 managers, a tech lead and other software engineers. Received offer by phone the week after with a week time to accept/decline. The interviews were focused on technical aspects but with general questions, no specific test but generic programming/design questions on things like type of databases and multithreading.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
if you were to store the configuration of networks/routers in a database, what type of database would you use?
