Cisco Software Engineer interview questions

It was a phone call, mainly focusing on resume and Sime technical questions. I didn't hear back from them. I tried contacting the recruiter, but they ghosted and the job was taken down couple of days later.

This was for a Grade 6 Software engineer - SRE role and in total 4 rounds. Round 1: HackerRank Programming Challenge These were 2 coding questions of medium difficulty. Round 2: Python MicroServices This round was mainly focussed on knowledge on micro-services in python. I was asked to code a rate-limiter using Flask. Interviewer was really good and polite and helped me during each step. Even though with my limited experience with Flask, I was able to get through this round because of him. Round 3: TroubleShooting, Docker, Linux Fundamentals. This round focussed on troubleshooting skills, linux networking fundamentals and dockerfile. I was asked on file permissions, user groups, CPU, memory related questions. Then had to write a dockerfile to containerise a flask application and troubleshoot a dying container using logs. Interviewer was very helpful and allowed use of google to look for specific commands and syntax when / if needed. This was very engaging and truly tested on SRE and troubleshooting skills. Round 4: Hiring Manager round. This round was focussed on my projects, work in current organisation etc. We discussed on ideal deployment strategies in multi-cloud environments, designed a CI/CD for cloud-agnostinc setup, synthetics, monitoring, observability best practices etc. The HM was very kind, and kept it engaging. He then explained me the current role and expectations from me. Overall experience was really good and found interviewers very helpful.
