      there was five meetings total, two meetings with a headhunter and I got an offer shortly after to compete with an already-received offer from another company. They did check my references. Very fast process.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cisco in Apr 2025

      Interview

      1) Email via LinkedIn to apply to the role 2) First phone interview 2 days later with HR/Recruiter - which went well 3) Zoom meeting with the hiring manager - went great 4) Prep work for a virtual mock call with 3 people in total (2 weeks after the hiring manager interview) (local VP of sales/Sales manager other country/local hiring manager) - aced the mock call 5) 2 months pass - ghosted 6) 3 months have passed - role changed name and function - 0 update from the recruiter. Said he'd get back to me once he gets an update from management. I think it's a great company with even better products, however the overal hiring process has been sub-par and not professional in the slightest.

      I interviewed at Cisco (Dhaka)

      It was smooth since I was contacted for the position. Everything was maintained in transparent way step by step. Although it took few more days for the final interview call.

      Account Manager Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Initial interview was with hiring manager, second round was individual interviews with other sales leaders (3 of them), third round was interview with SE Manager. Spent 5 hours interviewing and countless hours prepping for said interviews just to be ghosted. Shows lack of respect for candidates time.
