I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
The process consisted of 1 recruiter screen + 5 interviews with team members (Hiring Manager, Dr. of Product, Sr. Dr of Product, Sr. PM, Engineering Lead, and VP of Product)
The interview timeline is my only pain point. The recruiter clearly told me it would take 2 weeks, but the entire process took 2 months. The recruiter could have been honest about the timeline.
The interviewers along the way, through the 5 rounds, were all nice people.

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.
Interview with Cisco was nice and human. HR was really good at their job, quite pleasant. All important informations were handed out upfront and I felt like the process will not be too long.
There are about 3 rounds with the last round being 3-4 interviews. I began with a phone screening then moved to next round, with all different. Last round were 3 behavioral with one presentation
