Previous years' question papers are helpful for the written test to potentially cover some questions.

The interview process included two technical rounds and one HR round. In both technical rounds, I was asked questions on C programming. In the HR interview, they asked standard questions such as 'Why Cisco?' and 'Why should we hire you?'

- 1.0In Cisco, your time and dream pass away, but you remain the same! Don't take a chance with the nameSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaMay 21, 2009Pros: Cisco, the old brand name, adds some value to the job profile. You learn new technologies by chance of any new acquisitions, since most new technologies and good-selling products are acquired by Cisco. You learn how to make things more complex. You have fun around compromising your work experience.Cons: Ridiculous management that has a philosophy of working to add an entry in a performance review and not for necessity. All happens in the name of process, and no wonder if it doesn't happen at all :-D You can think about promotions in dreams, and opportunities in words. Full politics and no recognition for deserving candidates. Almost worst outsourced services like HR, workplace resources, etc., for employees. All happens in the name of process, and no wonder if it doesn't happen at all :-D To say it simply, you can be recognized as a fool if you stay long. If more than that, if you wish to take a chance, then it's your fate!
