Old school, lacks growth strategy
Old school, lacks growth strategy
Competitive compensation at higher grades
Frequent layoffs.
Outdated or not technical senior engineers, clueless management. Engineers always have to worry about keeping their jobs safe rather than focusing on product growth.
Senior management is more focused on building an empire for their BU rather than hiring and retaining the best talent to grow Cisco. They make engineers work on duplicate projects and overlapping products. Management and customers are both clueless about why such a thing is happening.

First, there was a phone interview, then they called for an on-site interview. Total of 4 rounds. Each round involved one person, with mostly technical questions. There were a few questions about network topologies, previous work, and programming.

There will be around 4-5 Webex interviews, including the HR interview which will be taken by the manager.

I had one coding question during the onsite interview that I could not answer at the time. I had no idea how to approach it. The other 6 coding questions were okay. The manager was very nice, but the engineer was not very nice.
