It was a great ride
It was a great ride
I joined CSCO when it was a small company. It was nice to see it grow into a multimillion-dollar company. I always worked at the cutting edge of technology.
Other engineers are also pretty smart, and one can learn from them.
The schedules are very accelerated and challenging. You keep very busy and don't have time for taking more classes. Also, for women with small children, it can be very challenging to work for Cisco and take care of home as well as children, as one needs to spend a lot of extra hours at work many times.
Management is pretty good.
It is very conscious of saving money and keeping the company profitable.

Cisco Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
There were two coding rounds and one technical round; overall, a pleasant experience. There was a long time between application submission and when the interviewing process began, but the interviewing process was completed in a few weeks.

The experience was really good overall. Although certain questions seemed irrelevant, like file system architecture, it was overall a good mix of OS, DBMS, and computer network fundamentals. Thank you for your time.

Screening phone call, 15-minute introductory conversation. Technical interview consisted of asking basic OOP, 2 LeetCode Easy-Medium questions, and being asked about your project experience. Ghosted and rejected finally after a month.
