      Administrative Interview

      Jan 6, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Nov 2010

      Interview

      Interviewers were professional, sharp and focused, largely on the interpersonal demands rather than the usual skills. Most were open and friendly - one was oddly openly hostile even before entering the room. The lead Executive Assistant was excellent - insightful, open and pro active. She (accurately) concluded I was far overqualified and suggested other positions that were more suitable.. There was a bit of a disconnect between the external Cisco branding (smart, energetic, open, friendly ) and the internal office and style. Internal seemed far more old school structured with absolutely none of the usual informal buzz of conversation in cubicles, hallways and offices. The lobby was totally automatic with a screen that had a virtual assistant. This was more cold than impressive. Overall, however, good experience.
