There were two interviews in total, the first was conducted by two team members and had technical questions and the second was with the manager and was about system design.

I recently had a software developer interview with Cisco. We discussed software design patterns, system scalability, and maintainable architecture principles. They were also interested in flexible working across different time zones and global collaboration. I explained that I’ve been working as a contractor, which has allowed me to adapt easily to distributed teams and asynchronous workflows.
