I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Ciudad de Mexico) in Apr 2024
Interview
No hubo un contacto inicial por parte del equipo de reclutamiento, sin embargo, el Hiring Manager disparó directamente una entrevista con el Panel técnico y posteriormente me entrevistó el mismo junto a un peer del mismo equipo. Todo se llevó a cabo bajo un ambiente cordial y respetuoso, siempre con la disponibilidad de responder cualquier pregunta o duda durante el proceso.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cisco (Kraków) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter on LinkedIn and we scheduled a call during which the recruiter explained the role and company offering. The next stage was an interview with an Engineer, quite difficult. The last stage was a meeting with a hiring manager. I received positive feedback within 24 hours since the last interview.
Everyone was extremely friendly, kept me updated throughout the whole process, and seemed to be authentically positive and enthusiastic.

Question 1
I got many questions about firewalls, differences between multiple firewall types and IPS/IDS, and other networking-related questions. The Engineer holding my technical interview seemed rather a friendly senior colleague assessing my level of knowledge than someone judging me. There was no technical test for this role.
