A very technical based interview. They were more focused on my technical knowledge of Python and how it work in order to debug effectively. Since my experience with the language was very limited and I did not know much about the memory management in Python, safe to say it did not go very well for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Debugging code that used lists to create a matrix. Knowledge and application of data structures like sets, lists etc.
They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.
