Great software development standards and culture.
Low pay scale and appraisal processes are slow.
Be more proactive about issues rather than reactive.
The interview process involves: * Two telephone rounds * Three face-to-face interviews followed by meetings with Senior Management and HR. The face-to-face interview includes coding on the board, explaining design patterns, and problem-solving.
Hiring at Cisco was a smooth process, taking about two weeks from the interview to the offer letter. The HR representative and the Engineering Manager were very proactive in following up and ensuring the candidate could start as quickly as possible.
The overall interview duration was about 3 months. I first received a call for a phone screen. After this, I heard back after 1 month for a second phone screen. Then, after 1 more month, I was called for an on-site interview, twice.
