I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
One interview with human resources, four tech interviews with four disctinct people in the team I would have worked in, one interview with the hiring manager. The interview process was well streamlined.
Process was fairly fast. It had 3 interviews: 2 technical and one with Hiring manager which was also kind of technical.
Overall process was fairly simple as they wanted to hire early.
