I was surprised at how fast the process went. I was first contacted by two recruiters who did the initial screening. After that the director of the team interviewed me over the phone. With the completion of the phone screen, I was invited on-site. The on-site interview was 6 hours
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Very good process... in depth and met with several leaders and project team members. Good experience, and the team was reall welcoming. Highly recommend as a place to work and build a career.
There are about 3 rounds with the last round being 3-4 interviews. I began with a phone screening then moved to next round, with all different. Last round were 3 behavioral with one presentation
Interview with Cisco was nice and human. HR was really good at their job, quite pleasant. All important informations were handed out upfront and I felt like the process will not be too long.
