Fear of layoffs ruins a great environment
Fear of layoffs ruins a great environment
The benefits are pretty good. Most teams are set up as smaller businesses inside of Cisco, giving some flexibility with how those business units run. The people, including immediate upper management, are great.
Unfortunately, it is still a large corporation, and there is always the threat of limited restructuring (layoffs) based on how the unit performs as a whole. I was recruited out of college and started working on a project that was shut down 3 months after I started due to upper management politics.

Was first contacted by a staffing agency based on a resume posted to one of the resume websites. One interview with four people, one at a time. Some technical and some social questions.

The interview took place in a hotel conference room. We were then given a tour that they give to prospective corporate clients. We were never given an opportunity to see the offices themselves.

The interview process was a standard session of writing pseudocode to solve a generic problem.
