4 rounds of interviews, behavioral, technical interviews with potential team members, managers, technical leads, and recruiters. Interviewers are busy people and it takes time to schedule interviews. Do not expect a replay unless it is urgent or important. Just be prepared and hope for the best since everyone has different opinion.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
The interview process was excellent. The interviewers used my resume to spark all questions and conversations off of. Nothing was unexpected and aligned perfectly with my skills set. This is something that is very good with Cisco. If you say you know something, you should know it. Stay true to yourself. I have always been honest on my resume so it worked out well. I knew going in and was okay with what was on there and it really was a pleasure.
