Observed from inside Cisco Systems
Networking, building appliances, and embedded systems.
Most of the development is in the C programming language. If you work there too long, you will be out of touch with the industry.
Too many layers, don't need a reporting structure with dir-dir-dir-vp-vps.
A lot of the senior management are out of touch with the industry.

I met a Cisco representative at a university career fair. I was able to land an interview within one week at campus. The interviewer was very respectful and offered help if I was stuck.

Got an email from recruiter. Assessment test. 5 rounds of interview (first with hiring manager and then with two team members). They were prompt with feedback and scheduling. I was asked a lot of technical questions.

The interview process is lengthy, and most of the time, they stick to the basics. The basics of networking are what most people check.
