Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Dallas, Texas

Process

Cisco has a pathetic interview process.

It has been more than 50 days since my second interview, but I haven't heard back yet. HR is also not replying.

I received a call from a career fair at my school. The first interview was scheduled for the next day, face-to-face, with one of their engineers. This was a technical interview.

One month after this interview, I got a call for another interview. The second interviewer was a manager, and this was a behavioral interview with standard HR questions. After this, I received an email stating my application was under consideration. I haven't heard back from them since.

I don't understand why these guys hire recruiters if the entire interview process is so miserable and poor.
