I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (London, England) in June 2011
Interview
Very thorough interview process. Cisco likes the whole team to interview you for a role so it can take some time. They do many reference checks and spend alot of time going through your profile.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
Typically a panel of other leaders and the SE Manager for first round where you spend the first 10-15 minutes presenting about yourself and your plan. Then moves to 2-4 individual interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you deliver a message to the team that you don't believe in?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Jan 2022
Interview
Applied via the careers site and received a call within a few days. First interview was with a recruiter, then a conversation with the HM, panel interview with 4 peers, and final round with 3 directors. Long interview process but they want to make sure they have consensus on the final candidate.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Aug 2012
Interview
coming from an acquisition everything was straight forward, fast and impersonal.
little discussions about profles, skills etc, just a reallocation to an internal position.
