What is the hiring process like at Cisco?

people, office, intern project, honestly everything

I liked everything. Interview process was also better than in other places

The company promoted a healthy work-life balance, which was appreciated.

The internal mobility process was unnecessarily complex and lacked transparency. Additionally, poor management can significantly impact an employee’s mental well-being and hinder career growth. Organizations should prioritize fair leadership and clear pathways for advancement to retain talent and foster a healthy work environment.

Good benefits. Good employee stock program. Remote work

Slow hiring process even internally, always risk of layoffs

GREAT work culture, and Environment

Interview process is very weird, they just ghosted if you are not move to next round.

Interview process is structured and recruiters are easily approachable to answer your questions.

Interview process is very intense and time consuming. There are 4 rounds of interview and some of them are just completely technical. But even after successful rounds, you dont hear back on time.

Lots of work to keep busy with. Opportunities to learn and improve. A great, healthy culture. Some of the best team mates you could ask for! Some newer senior management hires don't seem to fit with previous Cisco culture, and often come from the same business (mates hiring mates) poisioning the culture pool.

Somewhat regular lay-offs (though I hear the redundancy pay is decent). Occasional short-notice business demands/projects can be stressful at times.

Trusted and Strong Brand Benefits are phenomenal

Turbulent change! Buckle up! Internal hiring and time to network for promotional roles when they become available.

Has a good work life balance and benefits are above par.

Care more about the bottom line than employees. Management lacks the ability to adapt and innovate. Hiring process is all about favoritism and very biased.

Amazing team, manager, perks, salary

Long recruitment process, no proper onboarding structure, frequent layoffs
