Process
OA, then final round. The whole process felt pretty rushed.
I was grilled hard on past experiences and projects, with the interviewer asking me why I didn't approach one of my projects in a more efficient way.
Questions
A Python dictionary question that required some pretty niche knowledge of Python in order to solve. The logic wasn't hard, but it needed essential Python trivia.

Cisco Work Experiences
- 1.0Absolutely dreadful, unprofessional team/org. Your mileage may vary with other orgsSoftware Engineering Technical Leader • Current EmployeeRemoteDecember 12, 2022Pros: 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.
