Process
It was a one-on-one screen interview at a university job fair.
There were just a few quick verbal questions, and I did not write actual code.
It seems you do not need to give a flawless answer, but a quick one.
The recruiter did not say whether I passed the screen after it.

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.
