I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Feb 2025
Interview
Initial phone screen asking questions about networks and layer 2 - layer 3 switching. That went fine. They then scheduled a follow-up interview. I asked if there would be a leetcode style portion of the interview. Instead of a yes or no, I was given new questions and an evasive answer. I informed them I would attend the interview, even my question was not answered. I was then told that they were no longer interested in speaking with me.
My interview experience wasn't great. They conducted three rounds of interviews, and while the interviewers were nice, the recruiter never reached out to share any feedback, and she hasn't been responding to my calls or messages.
