I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Phoenix, AZ) in Jun 2020
Interview
First step was an online assessment with typical data structure and algorithm problems. The next step was a phone call with the recruiter where behavioral questions came up. The next step would have been another interview over video with an engineering manager but I chose not to proceed as other better offers had already come in by then.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty easy programming questions in the online assessment. One of the problems was similar to word search. The behavioral phone call was standard behavioral questions (weakness, example of leadership, etc.)
