      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Poland, ME) in Sept 2023

      Interview

      The interview process typically consists of several stages, depending on the company and role. Here’s a general breakdown: Application & Screening – The company reviews your application, resume, and cover letter to determine if you meet the basic qualifications. Phone or Video Interview – An initial conversation (often with HR or a recruiter) to discuss your experience, skills, and interest in the role. Technical/Skills Assessment (if applicable) – Some positions may require a test or project to assess your technical skills or problem-solving abilities. First-Round Interview – This is usually with a hiring manager or team member to dive deeper into your background, experience, and suitability for the role. Final Interview(s) – Often with senior leadership, team members, or a panel to evaluate your fit within the company culture and alignment with company goals.
