I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Remote. Was pleasant - did not get job but interview was a positive experience. Interviewed using WebEx. I chatted with a group of 5 people that were in the same group that I would be joining, Interviewer asked a lot of questions. I would have like the opportunity to provide more feedback.
The interview was a virtual then a day-long in person. The day consisted of 3 separate interviews along with multiple briefing sessions and meet and greets. It was extremely well set up and ran very smoothly. You can tell there is an insanely competitive environment.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Apr 2021
Interview
It was a panel of four or five 30 or 60-minute interviews with the hiring manager and different members of the team. Each interview was pretty standard: get to know your background, asked some basic situational questions (how do you handle conflict, project setbacks, etc.).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle conflict between members of your project team, or with the customer?
