I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC) in May 2014
Interview
I applied through the website when I saw that Cisco was one of the 20 companies that pays their interns most. I received an email about a week or so later asking me to schedule a time when I could come into the RTP campus for an in-person interview. My interview was actually through telepresence with a manager in England. He mostly covered information about what I would be doing if I was selected and asked what experience I had related to the projects. It was an easy and comfortable interview. They mostly want to see if you are the right fit for the culture and are capable of doing the project tasks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If someone came to you and said you had to pick one career, what would you choose?
It’s a really nice experience. You have one interview in three sessions, and you also present and work on a project. You get to work in breakout groups on teams.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
It was four hours long and consisted of three parts including a personal presentation that you were given the prompt for ahead of time, a group project and presentation, and a personal interview which was like a traditional interview.
3 part Superday Interview all in one day - Individual interview, individual assignment presentation, group presentation. It was difficult but manageable. I had a lot of fun doing it. Highly recommend Cisco as it is a great company to work in with great culture
