I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2026
Interview
One of the best interview experiences I’ve had. The process started with a recruiter screening where we discussed my background, how it aligns with the role, and my motivation for switching jobs. This was followed by a conversational hiring manager round focused on my projects, work approach, and an overview of the team’s vision.
Next were two back-to-back technical rounds: a Data Structures & Algorithms interview with two LeetCode-medium level questions, and a very engaging AI awareness round that explored my understanding of AI concepts and my approach to applying them.
The final round was with the director, focusing on behavioral aspects, work style, and tech ethics. Shortly after, I received the offer.
Overall, the process was smooth, well-structured, and highly engaging. The HR team was extremely communicative, often sharing feedback within 1–2 days (sometimes even within hours). Absolutely amazing experience.

Some dsa
Some java related
Then also they asked a few networking related questions

Prepare well for the interview focus on the core concepts of cs network and dsa
