I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cisco in May 2007
Interview
It's a coincidence to get the interview. My colleagure refer me after he failed from the interview. The first impression is Cisco interviewer likes to call you to interview whenever they like/are avail. If you say you're not convenient, then most likely the interview is over.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Very good process... in depth and met with several leaders and project team members. Good experience, and the team was reall welcoming. Highly recommend as a place to work and build a career.
Interview with Cisco was nice and human. HR was really good at their job, quite pleasant. All important informations were handed out upfront and I felt like the process will not be too long.
There are about 3 rounds with the last round being 3-4 interviews. I began with a phone screening then moved to next round, with all different. Last round were 3 behavioral with one presentation
