      I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      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.
