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 only got to second stage. There are 4 stages in total, first one is with a recruiter and second one is with a future manager. Then, director and two more directors.
