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).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Durham, NC) in Feb 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and instructed to complete a follow up questionaire. A few days later they scheduled me for the assessment center. Upon arrival we had a group interview. This was a great informational session to ask questions and get a feel for the structure. We did some role play and then broke off for one on ones. This proved to be a great opportunity to meet managers and get a feel for the company cluture and what they were looking for.
mostly 5-6 technical rounds.
HR have no value in cisco.
Managers get their performance rating if they hire people with less salary. salary depend upon managers.
