Entrevista
Applied online and got a phone interview with Cisco Systems for a software engineering position. The interviewer was very friendly and first started asking questions on my resume and previous projects. Then slowly started asking more difficult questions geared towards programming and networking knowledge. The interview lasted for almost one hour with most questions of the type "what are threads?, what are local and global variables?, what is heap memory?, explain tcp sliding window mechanism and congestion avoidance", etc. Overall it was a fairly good interview experience and I'm waiting to hear back from them about the results.
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
