Good Benefits, Office Politics
Good Benefits, Office Politics
Solid company. It still keeps good market share of its traditional products. It offers employees good benefits.
Lots of office politics.
Many useless meetings lowered people's productivity.
Although there are smart engineers in Cisco, the company doesn't attract top talent of the industry to develop new products or bring in new technologies.
Lower-level managers often lack the necessary management skills.
People are competing for "visibility" rather than getting the job done.

Got an onsite at San Jose; 4 rounds interview. Talked about the resume, basic questions about OOP concepts, computer networks, data structure, algorithms, and some front-end stuff. The interviewers were polite and patient. But there's no feedback aft

Excellent interview with tough questions. It's important to write correct syntax. The technical team is very knowledgeable. A bit of networking is expected to clear the interview. They stressed that during my first interview.

I had a phone screen, followed by a half-day face-to-face interview with the team members and manager. They extended the offer within two days. I then had a few rounds of salary negotiations with HR.
