I am a CSE background student who appeared for Cisco for Software Engineer role on campus. The procedure was very smooth and the steps that I went through is:
1. Online coding & aptitude assessment
2. Technical Interview round
- Online 45-60 mins
- Calculate the different types of IP addresses for a given network
- Explain about OSI layers & differenciate with TCP/IP model
- Difference between router, hub & switch
- Differenciate between DNS & DHCP and explain their usage with example
- Write a code to check if 2 strings are same or not using bitwise operators only
- Project & resume related discussion
Unfortunately, I was not selected after this for the HR round but I hope this post helps someone get into the company.
Good luck !
