The interview consisted of 2 steps - phone interview and a telepresence video conference (using their own product). The first interview was just simple screening. The HR person called me and asked some questions according to my CV and said that she had to send the information to the HR manager and he will decide about the next step. The interview was not longer than 30 minutes. The same day I got a call from the person in charge of interview scheduling, and the next interview had to be in 3 days after the first one. On the second interview, I came to the cisco sales office and I had a 2,5 hours interview with 3 different people: HR Manager and 2 developers. Mostly, the questions were easy, and there was only 1 coding question. Anyway, it was my first real job interview and it was a good experience. The people were friendly as well.

I had a very positive interview experience with Cisco. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and made the conversation feel comfortable and engaging throughout the process. We started by discussing my projects and technical background, and then moved on to several questions involving data structures and algorithms. When I struggled with the final dynamic programming question, the interviewers tried to guide me and help me think through the problem rather than simply judging the outcome. Overall, it was a genuinely enjoyable interview experience, and I appreciated both the professionalism and the supportive attitude of the team.
