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).
It was an assessment center consisting of 3 parts: a behavioral interview, a technical presentation assessment, and a customer roleplay session. I was given enough time to prepare for the technical presentation and the roleplay session with resources directly from the hiring team. Overall it was a challenging but fair assessment.
The Cisco Systems interview process typically includes resume screening, an online assessment, technical interviews on networking, coding, and problem-solving, followed by a managerial or HR round. It evaluates technical knowledge, communication skills, and cultural fit.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Kraków) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process consisted of three rounds: HR, interview with business process manager, and technical skills (Excel). Everyone was very nice and the first two interviews flowed more so like a conversation as opposed to a strict interview.
