Candidatei-me de outra forma. O processo levou 6 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Cisco (Londres, Inglaterra) em nov. de 2011
Entrevista
Multiple interviews (7) in total with various people within the company who would be engaging with me on a day to day basis both from the group I would be reporting to and the clients I would be supporting.
1st interview was a telephone screening, followed by several 1:1 interviews or varying degrees of complexity. Some were easy, more a get to know you interview others were more focused and relevant to the role that was being hired for. I had 7 interviews that apparently I am told is a small number for Cisco, this is not only to ensure they get the right fit from a culture perspective and Role but to help create your network on joining the company if you are successful in being offered the role.

The interview runs smoothly and the feedback is good. The interview will move to the final round. Didn't get further questions.

More than 8 rounds interview with peers, VPs. I applied the position online and got recruiter's call within one week. The whole process is more than two months, the questions are about the previous experience, culture fit
The hiring manager reached out about a role that had no information about the business unit the role supported. In the interview, the hiring manager didn't provide any information on the business unit or the initiatives the role would be supporting. Instead, the hiring manager asked a series of pointed questions surrounding their business initiatives and strategies they were currently working on or had just completed. I don't believe there was an intention to interview someone to join their team. It felt like a fishing exercise for them to get information to help validate or further the actions they'd taken (or planned to take) on their initiatives. It felt incredibly unfair and taken advantage of. Disappointing, given everything Cisco stands for.
