I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cisco (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2025
Interview
They asked many, many technical questions. Eventually, they said no after realising I lack experience in the field. Overall a lot of technical and enterprise knowledge is required for this role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews followed by 3 in person interviews. It was fine but extremely tedious. I got the job but turned it down for a better offer. I had to interview with the entire team and they all seemed to like me.
