I was interviewed majorly on my previous internship experience - what my contribution to it was, and each of my projects in detail. (Make sure to know your projects in depth and able to answer any question based on it). We then delved into a basic DSA Question
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview steered in the direction of System Design. I had to design and develop an app that was meant to be a competitor to Instagram. I was given about 5 minutes to think it through and come up with a basic architecture. After I explained my architecture, I was asked a follow-up question about delay handling in case of distributed systems, and I wasn't able to answer it correctly as I had not dealt with such systems in the past.
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
