I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
There were two back-to-back interviews. Both were 45 minutes long. The interviews were conducted via WebEx and all coding problems were done on a virtual whiteboard. For each interview question, I was expected to trace through the output line by line of the code. I was given 3 total coding questions. I did one in C++ and the remaining two in Python.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Aug 2025
Interview
Applied online via their website and got invited to take an Online Assessment. Online assessment questions are mostly LC Easy/Medium difficulty problems. Passed all problems, however, sadly, was not selected to move forward in the hiring process. Would recommend plenty of programming practice, but do not sweat it too much.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2021
Interview
coding challenge, tech screen with hiring manager (30 minutes) then technical interview (2 x 1 - 1.5 hours). I then ended up having a 3rd technical interview (usually dont have this) for another 1-1.5 hours and was ghosted.
dissapointed in that as i put alot of time into the interview process for them to not even email back.
