This was my second time interviewing for the same position.
I originally applied online and visited the company at a career fair as a sophomore, which led to an on-campus interview. The interview consisted of a progression of technical questions based on classes taken. The interviewer started with basic questions (for an EE, this involved KCL and KVL concepts) and then progressed to more difficult questions, which ultimately depended on the candidate's current class level and attentiveness in their courses. This first experience was smooth, and although I did not land the position, I felt it was a positive experience overall.
The second time around, however, was awful.
I went through the same process of applying online and visiting them at a career fair. I was contacted by a recruiter who informed me I had landed an interview on campus. After confirming my interest, the recruiter failed to contact me further. I continued to receive emails from the company stating that the deadline to accept an offer was approaching.
Upon contacting my career services, I learned that there had been a mistake and that I should expect a WebEx interview a month later. A month later, another recruiter contacted me to schedule the WebEx interview. I attempted to schedule it, but again, received no response from the recruiter. I ultimately received two interview requests but was unable to complete either because no one followed up on my availability.
After speaking with career services again, I was told that no one from university recruitment at Cisco was following up with any of our career counselors. There was no communication at all, which was disappointing considering they recruit from our campus frequently.
I visited Cisco's booth at the next quarter's career fair and was essentially blown off by the recruiters when I asked about openings and what had happened. They only stated that the position had filled up quickly, which was why I hadn't even received an interview, despite being offered one twice.
Go Cisco!
