      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      Interviewed at a career fair. The interview itself was easy enough to get. Questions asked seemed pretty generic, "what is the hardest problem you've solved" "how do you work through difficult issues". Mostly a behavioral interview.

      Declined offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      Well hiring process is pretty straight forward , HR reaches out and lays out the job description , salary and then give you assessment questions that are reviewed by hiring manager who then interviews you , second interview is with you future colleagues and that’s it . **Issue - no scope for negotiation or no opportunity to get considered in a senior support role . Salary offered is not competitive

      it was three rounds (Tr, Mr, HR). they mainly focused on networks, and anyone coding language. One with good knowledge in coding and computer science topics can easily crack the interviews

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      The first call was with a recruiter who gave me a quick rundown on the company and role. A follow-up interview was scheduled a week later with the hiring manager but the manager didn’t show. I contacted the recruiter and they said there was a mixup, another call was scheduled a week later. The call with the manager was mostly behavioral based questions and listed 1.5 hours. A follow-up interview was schedule for a week later with Tier 2 and Tier 3 support to ask technical questions. That call last just over an hour. A third interview was scheduled two weeks later with two Tier 1 agents to do more technical questions and that call lasted an hour. All of the calls went really well. I never heard back from the recruiter after that interview and my email/calls were ignored. Outside of the whole process taking over a month I’d have to say it was pleasant. I wish I had more information about why they never contacted me again.
