I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cisco (Washington, DC) in Jan 2019
Interview
Typical, screener, recruiter, team interviews, hiring manager, executives. Very in depth overall. extensive time to prepare for technology discussions to fit Cisco into the current Cloud, IoT, Digital Transformation, AI marketplace. Total waste of time interviewing at Cisco, they will fill internally every time. Don't waste your time.
Long interview process, they always hire internally dont waste your time. Many interviews with different people. Lots of time wasted studying and going to interviews when they hired internally , seems that is always the way after talking to others who had the same experience
Interview process was very intense. Multiple level interviews required. In end, you must do a presentation. The presentation process can be difficult since they want you to pretend you are selling to a group of individuals.
