      Systems Engineer Interview

      Apr 24, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Amsterdam
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      Het hele proces duurde 4 weken: Ronde 1: Cv/motivatiebrief-screening Ronde 2: telefonisch interview Basis HR vragen, altijd goed om een aantal voorbeelden klaar te hebben liggen. Voor de technische kant moest ik uitleggen hoe een mobiel werkt en waarover cloud computing gaat. Round 3: videobericht van 2 minuten Ik moest voor 2 minuten uitleggen hoe de werkplek van de toekomst eruit ziet. Ik voegde een aantal animaties toe om het aantrekkelijker te maken. Zorg ervoor dat je makkelijk te volgen bent. Ronde 4: assessmentcentrum Je zult worden gevraagd naar trainingshub te vliegen (Amsterdam in mijn geval). Cisco zal voor alles betalen. A. Technische assessment Te bestuderen materiaal zal 2 weken van tevoren beschikbaar zijn. Examen is multiple-choice en correspondeert precies met studiemateriaal. makkelijk voor te bereiden. B. Interview Standaard interview met in mijn geval 3 managers. Meer focus op soft skills dan technische skills. C. Presentatie 10 minuten presentatie en 5 minuten vraag en antwoord met dezelfde managers als bij het interview. Je krijgt je onderwerp 2 weken van tevoren (in mijn geval: het internet van alles) D. Rollenspel Misschien de moeilijkste. Rollenspel met een specifieke client. Je krijgt een heleboel informatie 2 weken van tevoren. Voorbereiding en focussen op noden client sleutel tot succes als je het aan mij vraagt.

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Poland, ME) in Sep 2023

      The interview process typically consists of several stages, depending on the company and role. Here’s a general breakdown: Application & Screening – The company reviews your application, resume, and cover letter to determine if you meet the basic qualifications. Phone or Video Interview – An initial conversation (often with HR or a recruiter) to discuss your experience, skills, and interest in the role. Technical/Skills Assessment (if applicable) – Some positions may require a test or project to assess your technical skills or problem-solving abilities. First-Round Interview – This is usually with a hiring manager or team member to dive deeper into your background, experience, and suitability for the role. Final Interview(s) – Often with senior leadership, team members, or a panel to evaluate your fit within the company culture and alignment with company goals.
