A decent place to settle down
A decent place to settle down
Good job, predictable, well-defined routine. Decent compensation and everything that comes with a large, stable company.
Hard to survive without the Cisco ecosystem. It offers a very narrow view of technology, with lots of PowerPoint presentations and very little real work. It's not a good place to build something internally.
Seek feedback from employees and act on it. You can't keep acquiring innovation and hope to have a lasting competitive advantage.
At this age, Cisco neither has the technical prowess of Google nor the coolness of Apple. They are a very good sales and marketing company and run very well.

On-campus recruitment. Written round, followed by two technical and one HR round.

Overall, the interview process was very "interesting". The initial recruiter call included some comments about how if I didn't want the job at any point, I needed to let him know ASAP so he didn't look bad to his managers. As for the hiring manager
