I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cisco (New Delhi) in Mar 2025
Interview
difficult TA team. all of them were very confused all along. They started off with the screening round followed by technical and then final interview which is personal interview round.
Good and very thorough. They usually do 4-5 rounds but mostly test on how much you would align to the role.
Quite a nice company to work for and your team would support you. Good work life balance.
