Software Engineer II Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I had an on-campus interview that went pretty well. I was invited for an on-site interview, and that's where all the trouble started.
Cisco Travel booked me a flight that would arrive after my interview! I had to call them, and eventually, this was fixed.
Then the recruiter made a mistake. For some weird reason, she had disqualified me, canceled my flight, and did not notify me! I went to the airport at 2 AM and didn't have a ticket.
The story goes on and on, and despite a dozen emails and phone calls, they still haven't interviewed me. A very unorganized company.

If you are hired, you spend your first 3 weeks learning about the company and the different products Cisco is developing. Then you decide which product and which manager you want to work for. In my experience, they placed almost everyone with their first choice.Cons: The pay and bonus seem to be slightly below market value. The best developers tend to leave for other companies.
