Depends who’s your interviewing you but they just are looking for excitement and initiation. They did do a panel depends on the account they’re going to add you and who is interviewing you. Make conversation don’t sweat it !!
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
The process consisted of 1 recruiter screen + 5 interviews with team members (Hiring Manager, Dr. of Product, Sr. Dr of Product, Sr. PM, Engineering Lead, and VP of Product)
The interview timeline is my only pain point. The recruiter clearly told me it would take 2 weeks, but the entire process took 2 months. The recruiter could have been honest about the timeline.
The interviewers along the way, through the 5 rounds, were all nice people.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Kraków)
Interview
HR round, followed by 1 round based upon resume no technical question or scenario based or case study and then managerial round which again is just having a conversation based upon experience. To be honest in the second round the interviewer spoke for 90% of the time ;)
