I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2014

I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2026

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.
