Cisco has a good work culture.
Management is poor.
Huge layoffs.
The interview process took about two weeks. There was a phone interview followed by a 1:1 interview. The second round was with four people, but the questions were very basic and related to programming. There was not much to do on a whiteboard.
- Applied via Cisco Career Page - Recruiter reached out - Intro call with recruiter - Call with HM - 3 technical loops: - Focused on data structures - Second on programming skills - Third loop on networking - 1 HR loop
The experience was very painful and draining. The team didn't seem to know what they wanted to ask, and I'm sure they were using a Q&A downloaded from Google on a printout. The interviewer was willing to hire me on a contract basis rather than full-t
