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).
1. video-based interview
2. quick HR call
3. Role-play
Overall the process is good, you have to be confident and prepare the visual presentation with the structure and mainly - asking the right questions for identifying the best solution
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
One interview with human resources, four tech interviews with four disctinct people in the team I would have worked in, one interview with the hiring manager. The interview process was well streamlined.
The process includes an MCQ (aptitude) assessment, followed by one coding question and a technical interview. If you pass, you'll move on to the managerial round, and then to the HR interview.
