Good Team, Bad Management
Good Team, Bad Management
Flexible work schedule
Benefits
You can end up in a great team working on a great product.
Nice workplace, polite work environment.
The worst engineers become managers. You can end up in a micro-managed team. No diversity. Too many managers/directors. Losing credibility.
Let people work. Do not tell engineers what they should do; they are supposed to know that. If they don't, fire them.
Get rid of incapable managers who promote brown-nosing behaviors. Choose managers among open-minded people.
During layoffs, do not get rid of good people.

Cisco Interview Experiences

It was an employee referral, so only a telephonic interview happened directly with the team manager. There were no other on-site interviews. It was a good experience overall. I received an offer through email from HR within two days.

I applied online after attending a couple of campus recruiting events. I made sure to be near the front of the lines, attentive, and to talk to each person I could during each event. I was interviewed on campus a day or two later, and then flown out

I applied for the interview through university recruiting. Cisco invited me to an interview. The entire interview was behavioral, and at the end, I was told that this would be the final interview. I was quite shocked there was no technical component
