Entretien
I applied online and I took the interview after a month.The process was quite good and friendly. They told me a lot of their project and equipment. The process is in total 4 rounds. The first round would be a background check and basic algorithm questions. The second round would be a network knowledge check. The third round would be a short talk with the manager.In the next step, they just take me to have a video chatting with another manager in SD. The manager was very friendly and nice.

J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cisco (Bengaluru) en juin 2026
Entretien
The interview started well and covered backend concepts, Java, system design, and coding. I answered the questions confidently and had a positive interaction throughout.
After receiving the rejection, I spoke with HR to understand the feedback. I was informed that the interviewer believed I was looking at answers during the interview. This came as a surprise because I was not referring to any external material. I have a habit of looking away while thinking or recalling concepts, which I believe may have been misunderstood.
I wish this concern had been raised during the interview so I could have clarified it immediately. If there are concerns about a candidate’s behavior, discussing them in real time or asking for a room scan can help avoid misunderstandings.
Overall, the interview questions were fair, but I feel my evaluation was influenced by this misunderstanding rather than my technical performance.
