Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
I had an on-campus interview with one of the senior employees, not for the team I was interviewing for.
We talked about my past experience, my career goals, what I saw myself doing at Cisco, and why I was pursuing a career in technology. It was very behavioral, nothing technical.
I then received an invitation for a phone/video interview with the hiring manager for my team. This interview was a little more focused on the skills I possessed and what the project was focused on.

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.
