The Cisco interview process typically involves multiple rounds, starting with an initial HR screening, followed by technical interviews focusing on networking fundamentals, problem-solving, and scripting. You may also face hands-on practical scenarios or troubleshooting exercises related to routing, switching, or automation tools. Some roles include a panel interview or a final managerial round to assess team fit, communication, and customer-centric thinking. Certifications like CCNA or DevNet are often a plus. Overall, the process is structured, technical, and emphasizes real-world application of skills.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Hyderabad) in Jan 2022
