Great training; Cisco employees are often real domain experts in their fields.
The company throws lots of events for interns.
Flexible, can work from home.
People are friendly.
Good place to go for a first internship to learn lots about a crucial area (networking), not a great place to go to work on production features and have a big impact.
Pay per hour is 1/2 of what the top industry players pay!
It's also been 6 weeks since my internship ended, and they haven't gotten back to anyone in my intern cohort about return offers. HR is overwhelmed.
It's an older company, so culture is a little stale/unexcited. The work-from-home policy makes for an empty/dead office sometimes.
Upper management seems to have a good handle on market transitions and places to take the company, but their excitement and vision is not getting to ordinary engineers.
OA: 3 medium LeetCode problems and an hour and a half. They use their own IDE, and it is recorded. Dynamic Programming was also included.
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then a first-round interview mostly in JavaScript. Was asked around 10 conceptual questions, followed by two live coding questions. I would say both were medium or tougher easy level.
The first round of the hiring process was an online test consisting of three coding questions on HackerRank. We were supposed to make teams of three people. Only one device could type the code.
