The pay here is competitive to other surrounding companies, and we have holdovers in our area from Sourcefire, which was a startup purchased by Cisco a few years back.
We get benefits like lunch 3 days per week, a quarterly fun fund, and PLI bonuses every 6 months.
Corporate office environment, and less soul than when I started 2 years ago. Some people have left because of this. Also, seemingly random layoffs have happened to good people. I'm not sure why their numbers got picked.
Try to retain some of the small company feel that Sourcefire used to have and don't lose sight of the things that matter in the company the most. Your employees and their happiness make for more productivity.
An hour and a half of questions ranging from past experience and projects to algorithmic tasks. Also, questions about the internals of C++, how compiling works, etc. Good to know every project you listed on your CV in depth; they will ask you about
There was an initial phone call screening with a behavioral question type focus. Then, an in-person interview with some people on the software team that I would be joining if accepted.
I came to the Cisco One site in Qesarya. I sat with two engineers, and we introduced ourselves. They told me about Cisco. They asked me the LRU Cache question, which is a LeetCode medium.
