I was hired more than 10 years ago so I don't remember what exactly it was anymore. It was something like being interviewed by at least 5 engineers and then managers. Questions mostly on C and C++.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
I had telephone interview followed by couple of more Interviews and finally had a one on one interview.Had to go thru layers of screening before getting the Interview.Senior level mangers took more time in the process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Apr 2014

got a call from manager went over CV arranged for a interview through webex. Talked asked about my current experience and threads, dead locks, datastructures, css, javascript basic questions, asked to write double linked list program, string reversal, they would accept any language you are comfortable in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String concatination, how canyou write a better concatination with out using existing menthods like .concat etc... can a dead lock happen with three threads, the job description has nothing to do with these questions. The concentration was on basics of programming, was asked to write doule linked list program...if you are comfortable with sting programs and linked list concepts it is very easy to crack...
