I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Netanya) in Feb 2012
Interview
I asked a friend at Cisco to pass on my resume. I got a phone call from a recruiter who asked me some questions about my experience and scheduled a screening interview.
I then came in for a 1 hour interview, all technical questions not too difficult.
That same day I was told I passed and we scheduled a full day on interviews.
The interview day was made up out of 5 one hour interviews each with a different interviewer, one had an additional engineer observing the interview as part of their interview training process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you implement the try/finally construct in C++?
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
