Great experience. The interview process was not as stressful as I had anticipated. Make sure you do your research on the company as well as the role you are interviewing for.
Very lengthy. Six round interview process, each of which challenging different intellectual concepts with a unique set of panelists for each from different departments. Some question-based, some memory, and others real-world hypotheticals.

Internship. Acuden a las universidades y dan platicas, te hacen al final un examen de las capas del modelo OSI. Despues esperas por varios meses hasta que hay una llamada para entrar al programa, se hacen dos entrevistas mas una para explicar un tema de alguna tecnologia que te pidan y otra sobre el perfil. Al entrar te dan los lineamientos de las actividades a realizar (certificaciones CCNA y CCNP) en 3 meses, si no se cumplen en el tiempo que te piden sales del programa. Pasados 6 meses, si se cumplieron todas las actividades, test psicometricos y certificaciones te pueden hacer una oferta.

Entrevista
Cisco’s interview process typically begins with an initial recruiter screen to review your background and fit, followed by one or two technical phone or video interviews focused on role-relevant knowledge (e.g., networking fundamentals, software design, or systems architecture). If you advance, you’ll be invited to a virtual or on-site loop of two to four back-to-back interviews—each 45–60 minutes—including deep technical problem-solving, coding or whiteboard exercises (for engineering roles), and behavioral discussions based on their “Leadership Principles” or STAR format. After the technical rounds, you’ll meet with a hiring manager or senior leader to assess team fit and career goals, and finally an HR debrief to discuss compensation, relocation (if applicable), and next steps. Feedback is typically consolidated and communicated within one to two weeks after the final interview.
