Bonus is good.
Cisco moves fast as a big company.
Engineers have freedom and resources to try new ideas.
Engineers with a higher grade level may perform less than their junior-grade-level peers. Some engineers don't perform to their grade level.

Cisco Interview Questions
Cisco Interview Experiences
Senior Hardware Engineer
Excellent recruiter helped guide the process from start to finish. There were five interviewers. They were all technical based and covered a fair amount of ground regarding theory, hardware design, system bringup, debug, and validation.
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.
