I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
I had a very bad experience during the interview process. I was reached by a recruiter for Senior Software Engineer position and first round was webex screening round which went well and then I was invited for onsite interview. During my onsite interview most of the interviewers were very rude and had no respect.
1. Most of the interviewers were running out of schedule.
2. One interviewer was having food during the interview. It was so annoying for me to answer while he was just enjoying his food. Note: This was not a lunch interview. Never seen anyone taking interview so casually.
3. One interviewer had no idea about my background. He dint even bother to ask me nor look at my resume. He was totally unprepared and was just shooting some random questions.
I am yet to hear decision but will never join even if I am offered.
