The Cisco Systems interview process typically includes resume screening, an online assessment, technical interviews on networking, coding, and problem-solving, followed by a managerial or HR round. It evaluates technical knowledge, communication skills, and cultural fit.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Cisco (Tonk) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was okay, I had 2 rounds in the first round, they asked simple math and physics questions, and add an operation in calculator code, in the second one they asked networking and OS questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
State any physics law that you know of and give an example
Interview was quite different compared to other cisco interviews. The interviewer was extremely rude. He didn't even start with introduction. He asked some OS and Linux concepts, which I answered correctly but he was not convinced for some reason.
