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).
Overall good experience - went through 3 rounds of interviews - the interviewers were very through as there wasn't a hand-on portion to showcase your abilities so you better be able to express this verbally

A very clear solid process. I am thrilled that they made an offer for the role! The hiring manager was very clear in the role she’s looking to fill. Everyone was great!
