I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco in Aug 2019
Interview
I applied for the role in June and they didn't contact me until Mid-August. We set up the call with the recruiter who asked me only two questions, nothing about my experience, and sent me a questionnaire in a "word document" that seemed to be the questions he was supposed to ask me and didn't want to bother asking.
I answered the questionnaire and it took them almost 3 weeks to get back to me (after I followed up), with an automatic message that I was not moving forward with the process.
I really don't know how they were able to evaluate anything without talking to me about my background and experience. And I don't know if they need a recruiter if the only thing they are going to do is ask me to fill out their work for them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you still interested in the role? Why did you leave your last job?
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cisco (New Delhi) in Mar 2025
Interview
difficult TA team. all of them were very confused all along. They started off with the screening round followed by technical and then final interview which is personal interview round.
Good and very thorough. They usually do 4-5 rounds but mostly test on how much you would align to the role.
Quite a nice company to work for and your team would support you. Good work life balance.
