I worked at Cisco Systems full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Amazing company and outstanding senior exec leadership
Really great co-workers
Outstanding development and training programs
Real diversity and CSR responsibilities which they take seriously
Cons
New leadership in my division drastically changed the culture, trust and real employee experience, you need to ensure that the culture the exec leadership believe in is adopted through the organisation
Advice to Management
There is a gap between what the Exec Leadership team promote from a values and culture perspective to what some managers/teams have.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco Systems (London, England) in March 2015.
Interview
I had received a phone interview where they asked behavioral questions and some technical questions. The lady was very friendly and helped me relax as it was the first time I had been interviewed. The process took about 30 mins and I was given time to think about my answer once I was asked it. Altogether it was a good experience as I was not pressured and was able to relax and give my answers.
Interview Questions
As the first Marketing Intern for Cisco Security in Vancouver, Sang thought she'd never fit in with her team's software engineers. Turns out, you really can 'be you, with us' and belong at Cisco.
