I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
3 time interview with multiple managers interviewing for their team to see if you are a fit. First is recruiting screen, then manager, then 3 manager interview. Typical sales style interview, no mock calls.
Typical first round screening by HR - followed by a call with the hiring manager then a "rapid panel" discussion that was very well orchestrated and scheduled with 3 team members in the same day - yet no clear conversation or dialogue around what would transpire after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
After 2 good calls with sales team members, the process led to a call with a "peer" and "technical" team member - neither of which displayed a lack of experience interviewing.
The "peer" talked mostly about himself and the great work he did - while the "techie" was new in his leader role and wanted to talk about how as a sales member I would interact with SE's etc.
In summary heard great things about this unit of Cisco but not sure they are on the right track.
HR was somewhat disengaged and non-responsive after this -
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Meraki
Interview
Easy questions..very long and drawn out process. Seemed to have little regard for the interviewee's time. Had to drag feedback out of them at every step including the final "choosing not to move forward" conversation.
