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).
Started promptly at designated time. All interviewers were friendly and made me feel at ease. Lasted about one hour. Very positive experience. Looking forward to followup. I described my background and they hit me with the typical technical questions. Nothing out of left field.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Ciudad de Mexico) in Jun 2025
