Cisco is a Great Place for Interns
Cisco is a Great Place for Interns
It has an up-and-coming internship program that seems focused on attracting new hires.
If you are able to take part in the Cisco Choice Program, you are given a decent level of flexibility in choosing which group you would like to work for.
It is a large company, and it seems like it would be hard to advance positions. I think this is a characteristic of most tech companies, though. I have been told the best way to get a raise or advance is to get a job at another company.
I would say to keep supporting the internship program. This will slowly create a great environment that attracts new hires, new ideas, and a great culture to work in.

Cisco Interview Experiences
Hardware Engineering Intern
I was contacted via email and invited to several events. First, they would invite you to engineering events, and there was a coffee chat (office hours with an engineer).
Quality Assurance
It was fairly good and well organized. The team was very friendly and interactive. The interview process was smooth and finished the process in a week.
ML/AI Engineer
It was a one-round interview. It was predominantly on data science and large language models. They gave me a repo of an agent framework and asked me to find the code where reward is calculated.
