I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Interview process was over four months long. First two interviews were within a month, then it was radio silent for 2 months. It was impossible to get ahold of the recruiter to get an update and finally a third interview was scheduled. During the last interview the team said they would make a decision within a couple of weeks. After over a month it has still been radio silent. I have even sent a thank you letter to the internal recruiter to have it sent to the team. After multiple emails requesting confirmation that it was received.... radio silent. What a poor candidate experience. This is coming from someone who previously worked at Cisco. I like the company otherwise.
