The hiring process at Cisco takes an average of 46 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for CSM had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Intern Field Sales roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 90 days).
More than 6 rounds of interviews.. but it wasn't difficult. I prepared based on the contents of the job description. The first was a screening interview with HR, and the rest were well guided by the manager. Overall, it seemed to proceed quickly, and I had several interviews a day, so I finished several rounds in a short period of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were questions about how much I understood about hardware and my software skills. Other than that, there were general questions about what I did during my gap year and why I left my previous job.
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.
