Excellent access to tech. Cisco addresses some of the hardest tech problems. There are some really great engineers as well.
Lots of politics. You have to be driven to steer clear of it and focus on your work.
Pay is less compared to a similar position in FAANG companies.
Drive more innovation
Mostly from Leetcode medium question in 3 rounds and 2 rounds of design level question and one phone screening. And networking question from past experience. L2/L3 forwarding, MAC learning, IGMP, TCP/IP, L3 routing, Tunneling.
It was good. They asked mainly about: * Algorithms * Testing frameworks * Testing concepts * Release activities and processes * CI/CD pipelines * Repository architecture
It was straightforward. I was provided with a blueprint for the interview and had a designated time to speak for myself. They then assessed me based on the questions they chose to ask.
