Great team culture and corporate culture.
Cisco seems to like hiring contractors. Not many direct hires.
Consider contract-to-hire when onboarding people for long-term projects.
The interview was conducted over a video call and included a mix of behavioral and technical questions. The technical question was presented on a code-sharing website. I had to write out the answer directly on that site.
I was lucky enough to skip the initial rounds. I completed a code challenge and then went on-site for what they call Cisco Day. While there, I had two interviews, with the rest of the day dedicated to talks about Cisco's culture and work-life balance
I had a 30-minute phone call with a senior recruiter, then a 30-minute Webex call with a senior engineer. After passing the phone screens, I had an on-site interview with 4 software developers (mostly senior). I spent 30 minutes with each person.
