Process
I received the OA email two weeks ago.
I completed it but still haven't heard back since submitting it.
I heard that they stopped hiring, but other than that, I don't know much about where they are in the process.

Cisco Work Experiences
1.0
Absolutely dreadful, unprofessional team/org. Your mileage may vary with other orgs
Software Engineering Technical Leader • Current Employee
Remote
December 12, 2022
Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.
Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc.
The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.

Not paid the annual bonus after leaving CISCO
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
November 20, 2015
Pros: All good things which you heard/read in other reviews.
Cons: Cisco used to pay a bonus to their employees who were part of Cisco until July/August. This year, despite doing great business, they did not pay a bonus to their ex-employees. So, be careful if Cisco claims this is an ethical practice.
