Process
I applied online for an entry-level software engineer position at Cisco Systems. I received an email from the university recruiter for a phone interview.
The phone interview went well. It was primarily about my resume and the projects I had completed. During the interview, she mentioned she was satisfied with my profile and would forward it to the hiring manager. She said I would hear from them within three weeks for the next round.
However, I did not receive any further communication. After waiting for a month, I sent an email to the university recruiter who interviewed me, but I did not receive a reply.
