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).
There were 3 rounds of interview:
1) Technical round : This round mainly focused on the CS Core concepts (DSA, OS, CN, etc..)
2) Behavioural round : This round mainly focused on Resume Projects and Experiences
3) HR round : This is the final round which tests on your communication and related skills.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco in Jul 2023
Interview
Interview process was fine. With standard questions . It was kind of neutral. But after I didn't hear from them, I didn't get a follow-up email. Nothing special. The interviewer was kind and respectful.
