I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Apr 2021
Interview
It was a panel of four or five 30 or 60-minute interviews with the hiring manager and different members of the team. Each interview was pretty standard: get to know your background, asked some basic situational questions (how do you handle conflict, project setbacks, etc.).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle conflict between members of your project team, or with the customer?
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
