I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Nairobi) in Dec 2019
Interview
There are 4 stages - cv, game-based interview, video interview and assessment center. For the game interview, you are given a link to play a game with different levels. There are no right answers and some levels have no time limit.
Thorough interview process, beginning with a deep technical interview about my experience and expertise, followed by a managers interview about higher level topics. After 2 interviews I was given an offer which I accepted. Previous interview experiences with Cisco were similar, with just the interviewers being different.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give us an example of a major project you designed and delivered, including what went well and what you'd do differently next time.
Basically the process was very streamlined 3 interviews in one day. HR-Technical-Technical. I would say if you have knowledge in networking it is good quality interview and demanding enough but not too much,
