      I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      I met with 3 people on 2 interviews, the 2 first looked like they were on a Sunday morning. We addressed the elephant in the room with a smile, but nevertheless I have to highlight some the question I got like - what did I deserve to be a manager, or why I deserve to be a manager, at the end I got the sensation they didn't understand English very well, they denied my experience and focused that I should improve my soft skills with e-learning trainings that I took on every workplace. This is the new breed of Cisco Systems in Poland or better the overbreed effect, hope Cisco Senior staff will do something about this one day. Second day, nice experience although the person who interviewed gave me a go said to be careful on being too technical on my answers as senior managers dislike the rationale.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1st Day What did I do to deserve to be a manager? Why I think I deserve to be a Manager? What courses did I take in regards to people management ? What courses did I take in regards to soft skills? 2nd day During a maintenance window something goes wrong and the issue gets escalated to you, customer wants to know what to do - what would be your decision? Conversation flow to fill-in the details and voila, all got clear.
