Work-life balance Support from management on personal problems.
Life at Cisco is rapidly changing from good to bad to ugly.
The hiring process is absolutely pathetic. What is told is never offered, at least for freshers. This is very true.
Promotions and rewards are based on politics.
Work done in India is very mediocre.
Senior management should stop thinking about the size of their wallets and start thinking about the lives of software engineers 1 and 2.

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.
