I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco in Feb 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me about 3 weeks after I applied for this position to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. The meeting is 30 minutes and takes place over webex. The hiring manager I spoke to was extremely nice, he was the engineering manager of the team I was interviewing for. This was a logic design position, on an FPGA engineering team. They were looking for someone who knew verilog I believe that was a factor in the questions they asked too. But good luck!
