Interview
The interview process and the delay from HR in reverting with updates is very bad. Personally know people who were called in for interview 4-5 months after attempting the written test.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Nov 2017
Interview
I applied for Software Engineer - Masters position online and received an invitation for an online WebEx video interview after about 3 weeks. The interview ended up being audio only. The interviewer started off with a resume review followed by a coding question and an algorithm. He saw that most of my projects were in Python so he asked me to code in Python.
I felt that the main question he asked was a bit weird and could not gauge what he exactly expected. When i could not answer it completely, I was not satisfied with his answer and explanation. Received a reject after 2 days.
