The first interview was a simple 30 minute resume screen. Typical "why Cisco" question and then just asking about your experience. Also time at end to ask the interviewer about Cisco.

Question 1
Why Cisco?
General resume questions, they'll dig deep on stuff they're interested in learning more about.
They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.
