      Software Engineer New Grad Interview

      No offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Aug 2025

      Interview

      Applied online via their website and got invited to take an Online Assessment. Online assessment questions are mostly LC Easy/Medium difficulty problems. Passed all problems, however, sadly, was not selected to move forward in the hiring process. Would recommend plenty of programming practice, but do not sweat it too much.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      coding challenge, tech screen with hiring manager (30 minutes) then technical interview (2 x 1 - 1.5 hours). I then ended up having a 3rd technical interview (usually dont have this) for another 1-1.5 hours and was ghosted. dissapointed in that as i put alot of time into the interview process for them to not even email back.
