Well organized easy interactions comfortable level of questions, two technical and one HR level. asked about previous experiences, connecting current profile with their requirements. everything was online. overall its was including all major steps such as introductions small talk information gathering and questions answers.

Overall, very "interesting" interview process. Initial recruiter call included some comments about how if I didn't want the job at any point, that I need to let him ASAP so he doesn't look bad to his managers. As for the hiring manager interview, questions were very easy and straightforward. But overall, it felt like I was being judged based upon their own rules and expectations, instead of my experience so far as a manager. I am glad these signs appeared though before I spent more time interviewing, as it doesn't seem like a welcoming place to work.

Managers in Cisco are not very hands-on. They expect good solid experience for handling several reports. First line manager have 1 0+ reports and second line around 15+. So, it is expected that managers show composure and more importantly situations that they have handled before like lay offs and recruitment etc
